    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support the amendments that have been proposed by Hon. Barasa, but I want to ask him to do more research on the current pension situation in the country. The most affected pensioners used to be public servants. Currently, there is a pension scheme for civil servants, which talks of a timeline of one month. If we introduce a timeline of three months, it is going to contradict the one-month timeline, which I think is more advantageous to workers. The major problem which we used to have was that public servants were the only workers in this country who were not under a contributory pension scheme. That is why there used to be delays in the payment of pension. I think the problem has been cured. I support the amendments because pension schemes in this country are being handled haphazardly. We need to harmonise them so that no single retiring person in this country should be disadvantaged because of the kind of scheme they enjoy.
