    "content": " Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. After congratulating you on your election as the Temporary Speaker, it is once again a privilege to speak to this Bill while you are on the Chair on your very first day. From the outset, I support this Bill. As the distinguished Senator from Mandera has indicated, the Bill brings together the two existing schemes under the LAPFUND and the LAPTRUST, which shall be transitioned into this Scheme. This, in effect, is a mandatory Scheme for county employees, both in the executive and in the county assemblies. It is important that it establishes a uniform retirement scheme for the county governments. This is what it should be because, previously, we did not have a mandatory contributory and uniform retirement benefits scheme. It is also purported to be brought in pursuance of Article 43 of the Constitution, which has two important parts. One is generally for purposes of giving social protection to citizens; while the other component is under Article 43(3), where for those who are needy and poor, there should be provided a form of social security and so on, and so forth."
