    "content": "services. The constituency money is held for a long time before being released until my constituents start giving me a headache. How do you expect me to have a good retirement? Those working on our welfare here should not just concentrate on welfare when we are out of Parliament. They should make sure our welfare is taken care of because it will determine at what state we will exit this House. As we talk about the issue of pension for ourselves, which is very important, we realise we have a big problem with our pension system. We should investigate and find out what to do with this issue of pensions. It is becoming a thorn in the flesh. Very many other Kenyans are dying without seeing their pension. I wonder what kind of punishment this is. One time, I watched something Hon. Ndindi Nyoro shared which was of concern to me. I also thought when we contribute, the money is kept separate. I heard that Government money just goes in circles. I realised your money can get stuck there and you end up dying without anything. This is tragic. We should also explore and see how this pension is managed for the rest of Kenyans. It should be managed in a manner that people benefit from it. That was the intended purpose of the pension. With those few remarks, I support the Bill."
