    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the Bill. I commend Hon. Muriuki Njajagua for sponsoring the Bill. We used to have the local provident fund. We know that a number of retired councillors to date, have not been paid their retirement benefits. Now, we are amalgamating through this Bill for the seven counties and their subsidiaries. That is going to be a lot of money. If invested well in projects that can complement and sustain the staff of these entities in terms of their retirement, we will have done a good service to the populace. While we come up with laws like these and we have good endeavours, we want to achieve something positive for the workers knowing that they will become old and they might be incapacitated and have to retire. What is important is to ensure that the investments from this major fund are put to such good use so that when the person retires, the money that they will get from their pension is able to not only sustain them but sustain them in the standards that they were already enjoying while they were employed."
