    "content": "I am asking two things; that, we approve this amendment so that pensioners can access their pension immediately on retirement. Secondly I am appealing to the Government to respect the Pensions Act as amended, so that pensioners receive their cheques of pensions as they go home, as it is written in the law. If for any reason the Government is unable to pay them their pensions retain them in the payroll until such a time that the paper-work is completed, and that is the law. Similarly, for those who die, it is only fair that their dependants access their benefits within 90 days; if for any reason this is not achievable, then those benefits should start earning interest at bank rates, as is written in the law. I am saying these things because this law was passed in 2003, but to date the Government has not implemented it. Now that Mr. Olago has brought an amendment here, people are saying it is illegal! How come that the law that we passed and it is in the statute books is not being followed?"
