    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. As the situation is now, there were quite a number of employees who were working for the national Government and since 2013, they were transferred to the counties and are not sure which particular scheme they belong to. One thing an employee really enjoys and wants to make sure is guaranteed is their pension. This is the most critical area for any employee working for any organisation, be it the Government, county government or even the private sector. The better scheme contributes to an employee moving from one organisation to another. Since we have not had a proper scheme for the counties, we have not been able to attract some of the best employees. We have not attracted the best performing workers to the counties like when we would have had this particular scheme earlier. Since we do not have one body administering the pension scheme for the counties, the possibility of an employee moving from one county to another has been curtailed. An employee would not like to move from one county to another because he would not be assured that his pension dues will be transferred from that particular county to the other. This Bill will ensure that if an employee moves from one county to the other, his pension dues will also not be affected in any way such that there will be portability of his benefits. This will help us to retain the best employees in the counties."
