    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to support this Bill by Hon. Njagagua. In so doing, I want to say that the level of legislative draftsmanship which went into this Bill is excellent. I have had Members talk about this Bill. So, I want to give the House the benefit of institutional memory that I have. I had the privilege of serving in the 10th Parliament after the promulgation of the Constitution 2010. When the county governments came into force our problem in the 10th Parliament was how to ensure that the pension schemes, the annuities and all the others; that had been mismanaged by the municipal councils, county councils and civic council were safeguarded. To do that, in 2011 with the Urban Areas and Cities Act 2011, we came up and inserted the specific provision, Section 49, which reads as follows: “All members and officers of a board shall, on the commencement of this Act, subscribe to an existing pension scheme approved by the Retirement Benefits Authority.”"
