    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me also join my colleagues in saluting the good public service record of Mr. Gichohi. There are very rare Kenyans like him. If it was up to me, I would have wished that a man who is at his peak with so much knowledge about legislation would, maybe, get five or 10 more years of service on contract basis, so that this country could continue enjoying his services. It is a terrible thing to waste a mind like that of Mr. Gichohi. That is what is happening with our people because we have set such low standards for retirement in a country like ours, where people go to school until they are 40 or 50 years old. The country invests money in such people through training. We then retire them before we exploit the full potentiality of their brains. I would like to wish Mr. Gichohi well. I know that with his tenacity, he is going to do well. I only hope that he does not retire somewhere in the village and do something amorphous called “farming”. I would like to see him offer technical services to many African parliaments as well as ours as we further our democracy. Congratulations, Mr. Gichohi!"
