    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is not the first time Mr. Mukiri has raised that issue on the Floor. I answered him very conclusively last time. I said that the Pensions Department is ready to take Members of Parliament through the procedures of processing pension. I said that the problem with a lot of the pension cases that are raised on the Floor has nothing to do with the Treasury. A pensioner, probably, worked for the Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries Development and he or she is asked to go and fill in forms there, but they are not ready. When the pensioners are sent to the Treasury, we are forced to send them back. There is a procedure to be followed. At that time, I also said that the Pensions Department is willing to sit with Members of Parliament to October 17, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 4523 explain to them the procedure of how pension becomes due. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, actually, one of the biggest problems with pensions is the issue of record keeping right from where the pensioners were working before. What we only do at the Treasury is to process the pension! We can only process what is fully complete."
