    "content": "that have already been speaking to the Pensions Department create a liaison office at the Department of Pensions at the Treasury. A team that will completely follow up and this should not be isolated to teachers, but all other workers in all departments including civil servants, so that every time one retires, just like KDF officers, one should get their pension. It is possible Hon. Temporary Speaker. Let me tell Hon. Didmus Barasa that what he is bringing to the fore, is already happening in the military. Good luck you were in the army yourself. I am sure, if you had any pension, you got it immediately in the next month when you left. So, it is possible that it can work and that is the way I would want our pensioners to be dealt with in this country. Therefore, I want to support this Bill and hope that it will go a long way to help our workers who leave work to retire honourably and enjoy their retirement and pension immediately unlike what is happening today. Even though I am repeating myself on the issue of death, they suffer for many days and some die before they are able to get their pension, which is not good for this country. It completely messes up the idea of retirement. It is a very threatening and fearful period when a family is worried that their mzee is going to retire. They ask themselves, “What shall we do?” They know well that it will take a whooping eight years for them to get the pension. With those remarks, I support and congratulate Hon. Didmus Barasa for moving this Bill."
