    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I really want to congratulate Hon. Andrew Mwandime for the Bill. I know it takes a lot of courage to do that because I know there are very many people out there who are opposed, especially the media both mainstream and social media. I have only a few things to say. One of them, as I support this Bill, is actually to note that even in other countries like the United States of America (USA), United Kingdom (UK) and Canada, they have a similar programme for their parliamentarians. So, this is good. It is worth noting that there are currently three amendment bills under consideration in the National Assembly addressing more or less the same subject matter. They include this Bill by Hon. Andrew Mwandime namely, the Parliamentary Pensions (Amendment) (No. 3) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 57 of 2019); the second one by Hon. John Mbadi namely, the Parliamentary Pensions (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 45 of 2019) and finally, the one by Hon. (Ms.) Wangari Mwaniki namely, the Parliamentary Pensions (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 56 of 2019). I would like to request you to give directions on how we should consolidate these three Bills in order to harmonise them. I think many Members have mentioned the same. So, you can guide us on that, if it is possible to consolidate these three Bills, harmonise them, and come up with a better Bill, rather than split the three Bills. I thank you."
