He says that he is looking for a long-term solution for the people who are now contributing. For those who are pensioners currently, a 3 per cent increase, if one is earning a pension of Kshs2,000, he will only get only Kshs60; is that a reasonable figure that the Minister says is an increase? An increase of only Kshs60 on Kshs2,000! Does the Minister think that this can help the pensioners?"}
