    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, why then did we have to push it to 60 years in that case? If the Minister could be fair to the country, he would even give us the list of those people who have voluntarily left employment. In this country, people do not leave their jobs easily unless they are forced. Some leave, perhaps, because they had created an alternative. But most of the people do not leave. That is why we have people who are 55 years old and they continue working. Even when they reach 60 years I will not be surprised if the Government comes up with another proposal to move it to 70 years. That is not the point. This particular issue that hon. Wamalwa is trying to address will help nearly 25,000 Kenyans who have left retirement, but have to wait until they are 55 years or 60 years before they can access their little contribution. It is punitive and not fair. We should give people the freedom to decide what they want to do. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to support."
