"content": "Order! We will finish this! Actually, this issue was raised as a matter of July 4, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2259 policy. In fact, it is a follow-up to an Act of Parliament which we passed. Mr. Mukiri said that, a long time ago, we passed a law to stop those kinds of problems so that when people retire, they get their pensions as a matter of routine, as they should. In fact, that is their right. What happened is that, in spite of the law, we are still asking these Questions? The natural person to answer that is you, the Minister for Finance! It is to you that all pensioners must look upon to get their pensions! I want to remind this House a maxim of equity. \"Equity\" means a branch of law dealing with fairness, as the hon. Member for Ndia Constituency will attest. Equity states that \"equity cannot act in vain\". In the same breath, I will state from the Chair, that the House cannot act in vain. The House cannot and should never pass a law to be disregarded. That is the point!"
