    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity. In fact, I really wanted to support Hon. Oundo, given the strength and the weight of the matter. Since you are consulting him, allow me to say that I support the Report by the Committee on Public Debt and Privatisation. This report was moved very well by my very able Member of the Wiper Democratic Movement, Hon. Makali Mulu, and seconded very well by Hon. Thuku. Recommendation No. 6 talks about reduction by the National Treasury on the volume of the carryovers, so that the pension payments are made promptly. We have a lot of unpaid pensions. Look at the teachers and all the different areas. To address the fiscal pressures arising from increasing liabilities, it is important to implement efficient pension reforms and allocate more resources to manage these financial challenges effectively. If you look at the report, the change is attributed to increase in expenditure related to ordinary pensions by Ksh5.7 billion, community pensions by Ksh15.5 billion, and the public service superannuation scheme by Ksh2.7billion. This is welcome, and I must commend the committee on the same."
