    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also stand to support the Petition by the Woman County Representative for Busia which is my County. In Busia, our big concern are teachers with their unpaid pension. Half of the time I am in Nairobi, I spend my time chasing after pension for teachers and others from various Government departments. It is like you are going to a dead office. You will be tossed from one point to another without much help. They have continuously said they are procuring a pension management system. I say so because I sit in the Public Accounts Committee(PAC) and many a times their accounting officers appear before us. It has been a long story. We hope one day the story will have an ending so that they will have an expeditious process of ensuring the retirees get their money. It is very disheartening that you toil all your life knowing that you have a pension somewhere, but you go and languish in the villages without any money, meet un untimely and bitter death, live with bitterness and let your dependants hate the Government and leaders for no apparent reason. I support the Petition, and I hope the Committee will do justice to it."
