    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I thank Sen. (Dr.) Ali for bringing this Statement on employment on short term contracts. I have only two issues to raise. First, what is the legislative framework on which this employment will be based? This is because most medium-term Government plans last for five years. Therefore, the expectation will be that somebody is employed on a Government project and, within three years, they are supposed to be exiting, even before the actualization of those projects. This will kill institutional memory within Government agencies. It would appear as if this is just a knee-jack reaction to a serious problem of unemployment in this country. Madam Temporary Speaker, I urge the relevant Government agencies to try and think outside the box and come up with long lasting solutions to the problem of unemployment in this country. Secondly, Madam Temporary Speaker, it is not very clear whether the same should apply to our counties. It is also not clear whether this will now open the floodgates for all manner of contracts from both the national Government and county governments on recruitment. This matter needs to be properly thought through, and its implementation undertaken in the best interest of this country and for posterity. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker."
