    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. In so doing from the outset, let me indicate this is a culmination of consensus from all stakeholders involved in county government retirement scheme. It is also a product of the Cabinet sitting under the leadership of His Excellency the President. The most important and critical stakeholders in this Bill are the workers of the county assemblies, the Members of the County Assemblies (MCAs), the County Executives (CECs) and governors themselves. In the past, the key players of retirement benefits in the local scheme have been LAPFUND and LAPTRUST who have been involved in a lot of unfair and disastrous competition. We brought on board all stakeholders during public participation and they agreed that we can make a harmonious law to guide the running of the pension benefits. The stakeholders themselves formed an inter-agency technical committee which comprised of the representatives of the national Government, county governments and others. It is on the basis of these technical committee recommendations and also those of the National Treasury that the Cabinet sat and drew a policy guideline."
