"content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. You know, as we all work hard at our different respective places of employment, we expect that when we retire we will have a decent life. First of all, let me state that I support the Statement by Sen. Were, and thank her for bringing this matter to the Senate. When those people retire, they expect that they at least get their money regularly, because they are now aged, and that is the time they need that money. Also, when people’s pension is deducted, that money is usually used for other investments, so that it generates income. It is also a source of financing for either businesses, or the Government to get financing because of that pool of resources from different people. Madam Temporary Speaker, when these people who have retired, are aged and vulnerable cannot access that money, it is pathetic. This House should put to task people who are supposed to take care of the retirement benefits for those people, to ensure that they are given their money. The other issue is about people whose breadwinners passed on and are now orphans and widowed."
