    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, for giving me this opportunity. Mine is in support of the Bill. My fellow hon. Members have already talked about the importance of this Bill, which will transform this country; it will give us the motivation to save for our working and non-working members out there. The Bill, if passed, will give this country a lot of resources. As I have already said, the Government will not borrow money from other countries. I think we have looked at all the dimensions of this Bill; we have looked at the issue of the Board of Trustees and membership and have ensured that we have put enough measures in place to ensure that we do not give all the powers to particular individuals; at least we will have checks and balances. Therefore, I urge hon. Members to support this Bill because it will transform the whole country. I am sure quite a number of us are dealing with issues of social security in our respective counties. We are taking care of old people who have been working. For example, if this Bill is passed, then we will have no problem in terms of hon. Members chasing terminal benefits for their constituents. I support the Bill and I thank hon. Members who have really put in their time on our behalf."
