    "content": "As we do this, we should not forget the Members of the County Assemblies who are also elected leaders. We also have pension cases of former councilors. If you go to the villages, you will find that these people are really suffering. They have been following up their monies since 10 years ago, and up to date, they have not been able to get their money. It is unfortunate that Hon. Savula has left. We should not leave it at that because it is very difficult for a developing country like Kenya to have free healthcare for all and free education for all our children and dependants. Since that is not possible and the MPs are not many, it is good to have their pensions well streamlined so that even if you serve… We are serving Kenyans. We are not here because we do not have anything else to do. We are here to serve. When these Hon. Members serve, they should also retire honourably. Even after retirement, the many cards that we receive for Harambees and hospital bills will continue following us. So, it is important that we take care of these Hon. Members through this Amendment Bill. I hope Hon. Mwadime has taken a lot of notes so that he can streamline this Bill to carter for the issues raised by the Members. With those few remarks, I thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
