    "content": "country. So, I believe that such people should be able to retire in a manner that makes a lot of sense. We do not want our leaders to retire and look like they never contributed any benefits to the people of Kenya. So, if you look at the former Prime Minister, we all know the role he has played in this country over the years. It is good that he should be a beneficiary of this Bill. There are many others that all of us know, like the former Vice-President and even the former Deputy Prime Ministers and many others. If you look at the former politicians – people who have been in politics for many years in the 1980s, 1990s and even right now – most of them are in very bad shapes. So, I would like to support this Bill because all of us are going to retire at some stage and right now, the service that we are offering to the nation is very important. It is very taxing. It is a very difficult thing that you leave anything else that you have been doing for yourself in life and put all your efforts and energy in politics and in serving the people of our constituents. So, by the time some of us retire, maybe, we will be very advanced in age that we cannot go back and do something else. It is important that we put the right Bills in place to take care of all Kenyans and all the leaders that have served this country in one way or another. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, so, with those few remarks, I wish to support this Bill. Thank you."
