    "content": "Therefore, the framework that is being proposed on this Bill is generally agreeable to me. I think by and large, it captures the feelings and the ideas that staffers and people who work with county governments would wish to see in a properly functioning workers’ scheme. Let us not forget about the National Social Security Fund (NSSF). For those of you that are quick to point fingers and those who are saying: “Do not merge”, just look at the NSSF with its history as an institution. In fact, somebody was wise enough to note and let us know during the deliberation, that the only reason that the NSSF has never collapsed is because of how liquid it is. This is an organisation that by law, every month, has billions of shillings checking into its account. Otherwise, if it was just a general business like any other where you have to sustain it with cash flow, it would have collapsed. Madam Temporary Speaker, we keep reading about scandal after the other. Imagine what would have happened if pension workers of such institutions had been grouped and separated where you have maybe secretaries and dock workers, each with their own independent pension fund? Would it have been more beneficial for them or would it have been difficult? Will the workers suffer based on that decision?"
