    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to also contribute on this very important Motion. We are now supposed to wind up the business of the House and go back to our constituencies where we will be in touch with our people and consult them. This will ensure that when we come back here, we will serve them better after visiting them in their respective areas. Today, being the day that we are adjourning, I was lucky to have asked a Question by Private Notice, requesting the Government to tell us exactly what it has done with regard to the welfare of the retired President. I am happy to report that although, initially, when the Assistant Minister was answering the Question, he had said that all the provisions of the Act for retired Presidents had been accorded to him, when I followed up later, he also agreed that most of it had not been adhered to. I am also happy to report that a letter allowing the former President to purchase a car has been shown to me by the Assistant Minister. He acted very fast and I want to thank him for that. It is the first time that we have a retired President. In that sense, we will have more and how we treat the first one is very important. We are also going to have retired Vice- Presidents. So, it is important to implement this Act in totality. I am, therefore, happy that we are doing something. We should not wait until a Question is asked in the House to implement the Bills that we pass here. So, it is upon the Government to ensure that all the Bills that we pass are implemented. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, having said that, I would like to touch on the issue of parties. In this country, as of now, there is total confusion with regard to parties. We do not know which party is governing. We have a new party called \"Kenya-NARC\"."
