    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, I congratulate my brother, Sen. (Dr.) Ali, for this concern about workers. When we talk about achievement of any output, we must be mindful of the terms of service and conditions of our workforce. To talk about a blanket proclamation that all future employments will be contractual is, therefore, shortsighted. Perhaps, those who continue talking about the wage bill and shortage of money do not understand the importance of a motivated workforce. Therefore, as this matter is being referred to the relevant Committee, it would be important to understand what other motivating mechanisms are being put in place to ensure that our workforce is motivated, inspired and engaged in the areas of concern. Madam Temporary Speaker, when you talk about short contracts, we are aware that as you begin your career, you need to know how and whether to continue with that career. These are important issues that the Committee should extract from the Cabinet Secretary (CS) or the department that is making this proclamation. Without this, I can assure you that we will have demotivated workers who have short term goals and do not have the long-term objectives and vision of this great nation in mind when they get employed. I thank my colleague for this good Statement."
