    "content": " I was saying something which I know many people may not say, especially those serving their first terms. It is upon those of us serving a second and third term to tell the Government. I know this matter will be blown out of proportion. Tell the people of Kenya that there is no crime in serving the people of this country in this House. Let us also consider and work on that formula and bring an amendment to include that formula so that those who have served for 60 months can also qualify for some modest pension which can help then buy some drugs when they grow old. It is not asking for too much. Right now, the amount of money being stolen in the Government is running into billions of shillings. On the contrary, when it comes to something that we procedurally give to Members who have served in this House, it becomes a hot debate. Those stealing, please, stop stealing so that there can be enough money for public officers, including Members of Parliament, to also earn some decent living after leaving office. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support."
