"content": "Remember, these are Kenyans who have spent all their time serving our country, either in the armed forces, as teachers or in other departments. When they are not paid after retiring, they live a very miserable life. This House has the means and the capacity to rise up and demand that the Department of Pensions should not subject more Kenyans further to this suffering after retiring because this is not something that is not known to the Government. For example, if you look at the retired teachers or any other civil servants, they really experience difficulties trying to pay fees for their children or in meeting their day- to-day demands after retirement. Therefore, I want to support this and urge the Committee in charge that they need to even call upon the Director of Pensions to appear before the Committee to explain why they are unable to meet this very serious obligation, which they already knew from the word go that it is payable. I support."
