    "content": "There are people who, after we give them pension or retirement benefits, they get into misconduct. If you are such a person, you cease getting the benefit. If you are taken to jail and imprisoned for three years or more, then you will not benefit from this. (2) “Where an entitled person holds any appointive or elective post in or under the Government to which there is attached a rate to pay, other than a nominal rate, the benefits to which he is entitled shall be reduced by the amount of such pay.” That also makes a lot of sense. More importantly, this Bill also provides that the Government can call upon a retired person under the Act to perform some other duties for the State. Maybe we want to make you an ambassador somewhere or we feel that you are an eminent person then we can use you. If there is payment to that effect, this will be reduced from the pension. I would like to urge this House to look at this Bill objectively. Do not look at it like it is a Kalonzo/Raila Bill. This is a Bill for the Deputy President and designated State officers. We will have so many Deputy Presidents; right now you may be in office and you think that from there you will be President, only to realize that the highest office you have reached is that of the Deputy President. What will happen to you once you leave the office? With those many remarks, I beg to move and ask the great MP for Kiminini, hon. Dr. Chris Wamalwa Wakhungu to second."
