    "content": "The Government says that it wants to create jobs yet it wants to fire people and it has never rationalized how people are paid. Cabinet Secretaries (CS) and Permanent Secretaries (PS) are paid so well for jobs which I do not understand. Can we find a method where policy is first discussed at the Executive level and married to the law? We, the legislators, must speak about the law. The Executive must stick to policy. However, when it talks about Huduma Number and rationalizing civil servants and many other things, those are all policies where the national Government is taking over the work of Parliament. Slowly, they will take away everything through these sorts of policies. Madam Temporary Speaker, we hope that the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare will save the labour workforce of this country. Any Government that cannot employ workers, create employment or pay for essential services is not a Government. We must reinforce human resources for essential services like health. A nurse who works for 18 hours must be paid well. Now that you are paid for sitting, are they paid for standing for 18 hours?"
