    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support this amendment, but I do not want to do so with my hands and legs as just mentioned by my colleague. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think this is something that we have to handle urgently. As we pass this in the Third Reading, we must ensure that the resolution is implemented to the letter and as soon as possible. We come from various areas of this country and I have been respectfully asked to assist retirees. They come to Nairobi and most of them do not even have any relatives here. They will want to come and stay with you as you assist them to get payment particularly from what we used to call the East African Airways, the East African Community and the East African Railways. It has been very difficult for us to assist as it has been mentioned by my colleague. I want to agree with Hon. Tandaza that photographs on the identity cards of the elderly persons appear different from the persons because the retirees have changed and have different features. So, they are forced to do the documentation repeatedly and have to go all the way. I come from Trans-Nzoia, which is on the Kenya Uganda border, and one has to travel all the way to get the documentation. This is very tedious for the retirees who are honourable members of this country to be tossed left, right and centre."
