    "content": "The proposal by some of these players that let us have one scheme for the executive and another one for the county assemblies goes against the entire spirit of this Bill. They are all staff within the county governments. Two, if you look at Assembly staff, they are very few. Right now, we have two schemes with almost equal numbers of people. County assemblies have about 100 to 200 staff while big counties like the City County of Nairobi has 200 staff yet we have the tens of thousands of people working in the executive. So, it will be unfair to move the staff who are already in one scheme to another because you have given one the executive and another one to the assemblies. There will be no loser if you bring them together. The staff of these different institutions; the Local Authorities Pensions Trust (LAPTRUST) and the Local Authorities Provident Fund (LAPFUND), will find their way into these organizations based on considerations such as efficiency, et cetera . We cannot create a law that will harm them negatively. Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, because of time, I can see the light is going on, I do not know how many minutes I have but I am seeing the clock, they are only 15 more. I would like the Leader of the Minority and the Majority Whip to contribute. I second and urge my colleagues to support this Bill because this House has already pronounced itself on the content and the meat on the matter within this Bill, Thank you."
