    "content": "I want to give the highlights of this Bill. Part I of this Bill is mainly on preliminary provisions, which include the title, interpretation of the Bill, application and the scope of this Bill as well as the objective and purpose of the Bill. Part II, which is very important, talks about the establishment and the management of the county governments retirement scheme. This Bill proposes to establish a county governments retirement scheme. We will look at it as the defined contribution pension scheme for the staff of the county governments. Part III of the Bill is on the establishment of the board of trustees and County Government Retirement Scheme Fund. Part III is very important because it brings on board all the key stakeholders at the county. That is why Clause 7 of Part III of the Bill proposes to establish the board of trustees of the Scheme. These are the people who will be the board of trustees as envisaged in the Bill subject to amendments, deletion and addition: a representative of the Council of Governors, two representatives of the county service boards, a representative of the county assembly service board and two trustees nominated by umbrella trade unions representing public servants. I am sure Hon. Milemba is very comfortable with that clause. We have somebody from the Council of Governors, county service board, representative from the county assembly service board, two persons representing umbrella trade unions representing public servants and three trustees nominated by employees of county governments. So, even employees of county government are represented here. Lastly, the Chief Executive Officer shall be an ex - officio member."
