    "content": "The Chair of the Committee has talked about two pension schemes. The LAPTRUST and the LAPFUND. He is forgetting that we have already collapsed those schemes into one through the Bill that we passed and sent to the Senate. I want to read what that Bill was for. It is, “An Act of Parliament to establish the county government retirement scheme for employees in the service of county governments to provide for retirement benefits of those employees and for connected purposes.” That is the Bill, and it went to the Senate. You cannot talk about LAPTRUST and LAPFUND, in five years they are not going to exist. We had already passed a legislation that was collapsing all those schemes into one and setting up what we call County Governments Retirement Scheme. I want to just take this House through a comparison of the two Bills because I have both of them. I want to take this House to the board which is being set up and its functions as spelt out in both Bills. Allow me to move quickly so that the House can realise we are engaging in an exercise in futility. I want to read the current Bill before us."
