    "content": "I also want to say that from my experience, many of our MPs or leaders who have retired or thrown out, suffer a lot. Even those old men like me who are at home and who were Members of Parliament, you will not even differentiate. So, I want to bring to the attention of this House that while we are considering these benefits for the Deputy President and the former Prime Minister, we should look at Members of Parliament who are at home; the wazees . They are suffering. Parliament may look at it so that we can create an Act to assist them as they are still alive. I also think that any Member of Parliament who has been elected in this House, even if he has served for five years, he should be given retirement benefits because you do not retire in politics. You are defeated and you continue struggling, sometimes. Once you are defeated, you become desperate every time. For five years, you will not even be countable."
