    "content": "I fully support the Bill. This is a new lease of life, which will ensure that in our 47 counties, the county employees’ retirement issues are well taken care of. We should have a retirement scheme in which the governor, the public service board, the MCAs, county executives and tea girls and cleaners belong. We want everyone working in county assemblies to be taken care of because this is the spirit of devolution. As you are aware, I am a very well trained financial education trainer. Issues of managing money and how our people save money during their pick moments before they retire need to be emphasised even in this House. We should not leave this House or wherever we work and go to languish in poverty like what has happened to our councillors. I will be very happy to see our people enjoying these benefits. Once this Bill is passed into law, it will mean our governors and county assemblies employees are responsible. We also have to put a fine on counties which do not remit and pay pension to their employees. It will be the duty of the governor to ensure that his employees are well taken care of including children, women, people living disabilities and the youth. I have intentions to bring amendments to have persons living with disabilities in the board of trustees. I fully support."
