"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, that was in the recommendation of the Cocker Commission, that those who were in Parliament between 1963 and 1983 be paid some ex-gratia payment, between Kshs500,000 to Kshs1 million, but it was not binding on the Government. It was left for Parliament and the Government to consider. Now, the Cabinet sat and decided that they be paid. However, there were Members of Parliament who, between 1963 and 1983 were not re-elected. But when they were subsequently re- elected, they recouped or bought their period of service. Therefore, they are now on pension."
