Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I agree with the complaints that have been raised by my colleagues. In today’s Order Paper, just so that the Members are aware of it, is that the County Pension Scheme Bill (Senate Bill No.20) is on our Order Paper. Therefore, this House can handle the issues of the former councillors and not only for the Members of County Assembly (MCAs). To respond on the specific issues that have been raised, it is true the Labour and Social Services Committee brought forth the recommendations which were directed to us as a Committee for implementation. ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as much as we are meeting the Cabinet Secretary, it should also be clear to the Members that the National Treasury advised that this matter should be referred to the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) for further guidance.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, these are not my words. This is the response we got from the Principal Secretary in charge of the National Treasury.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, to respond to the issues raised, the Committee on Labour is supposed to bring the report back to this House before the Committee on Implementation works on it. I believe that once the Committee on Implementation is properly constituted we shall give you a report on what has already been done. We had prepared the report in the last Session and will definitely present it to the House.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I join my colleagues in asking for a plea from you. This matter about one-third or two-thirds gender rule is not about women. It affects all of us. Right now, we may try to play about it because we are nearing elections, but what happens after the 2017 elections?
