    "content": "After retirement, employees should be paid immediately. Some retirees, especially teachers, take too long to be paid after retirement. The Government should ensure that the pension is paid at the right time. I will also comment on the rate of unemployment in our country, which is quite high. Kenyans, especially teachers, take too long before they are employed, which is very disappointing. There are cases of teachers who are almost attaining 45 or 50 years, but they have not been employed by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC). There is imbalance in our country, especially on the employment of teachers. In some regions, teachers are employed immediately after college. Others leave college, but they take too long to be employed. There should be a balance. What happens to the one who gets employed at 45 years? After 45 years, they will not get any employment. What will happen to them? There should be a balance in the country, especially on the employment of teachers in various regions. It is very disappointing when one is trained as a P1 teacher but does not get employed. I support this Bill. There should be proper training and planning so that when one retires, the institution knows who will take over. We should not encourage waiting for three or 12 months before filling the position. After one retires, he should go home and give room to another person to take over. When one serves in an acting capacity indefinitely without knowing whether he will go home after three or six months, it leads to one being unproductive in the institution. That is because he will be planning on when and how he will go home. Let us have proper succession planning. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I support the Bill."
