    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support the Committee on the repeal of the Asian Widows and Orphans Pension Bill. Because of the time lapse, it has stopped serving the purpose it was effected for. The Bill was enacted at Independence to effect the payment of pension of Kenyans who decided to go to other parts of the world. It has been distributed to our embassies. With time, the kitty has become small and tracing the beneficiaries has become a big issue. If we check the books of our auditors, there has been an audit query every year because of the inability to trace the beneficiaries. It has been overtaken by events and, therefore, this is the correct time to repeal the Act so that we can have Acts that are effective and efficient."
