"content": "So, let us be fair to Members who have served this Parliament. They are pensionable in the first instance. They are already on pension. We are not giving them pension; what we are doing is to bring their pension of Kshs6,000 to its present day value. If somebody was entitled to Kshs6,000 20 years ago, what is the current values of Kshs6,000 today so that they can be cushioned against the vagaries of inflation? They served this country with honour and dignity. It would be unfortunate for us to let them go out indignity. This is something we need to look at not just for Members of Parliament but also for sports people that we see suffering after bringing honour and glory to this country, but whom we abandon at their hour of need."
