    "content": "another advocates for external administration. If you ask me, most of the successful pension schemes in this country are internally administered. I would mention the National Social Security Fund and even our pension scheme are internally administered. We need to be clear how this scheme will be administered. That takes me to Clause 23 of the Bill that talks about the administration of the scheme. It states that it shall be administered by an administrator appointed by the board. It is not clear whether that administrator is supposed to be internal or not. I wanted to talk about the contribution to this fund vis a vis contribution to NSSF. If you are a national Government employee, you are not required to contribute to NSSF the moment you contribute to a registered pension scheme. It appears that the County Governments Retirement Scheme Bill puts it that county government employees or staff would contribute to this scheme and still also contribute to NSSF, which is discriminatory. My time is up but I wanted to sum up and say that as far as I am concerned, there is a fund that exists. We need to improve it. We need to transition it without carrying forward the liabilities that have been incurred, but also protecting it because it is protected by the State Corporations Act and the Public Finance Management Act. With those many remarks, I support the Bill."
