    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for the opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. The Vice-President is elected popularly by the people together with the President. Earlier on we agreed that it is prudent to send off a retiring president with some benefits and, therefore, it would be wrong to deny his immediate deputy some benefits. When they retire, the two will be visiting one another. You can imagine the position of the retired president being a very dignified position and his deputy in a pauper-like position. Therefore, it is important to recognize the sterling performance of a deputy president. I recall a Mr. Joseph Murumbi who served the first government of the founding father of this nation very diligently venturing into business to survive. If this kind of package was there, the late Joseph Murumbi would not have ventured into these activities towards some decent living. Therefore, it is important without hesitation to approve sufficient benefits to a retiring deputy president."
