    "content": "institutions; they can help mature our county and county systems. Once we have a lobby group like this, a society that should be able to push for the welfare of the former Members of Parliament, it will be very easy for them to be placed in certain positions where they can assist, especially our country and our county systems. Secondly, we can mentor. I know very well, and all of us know that everybody aspires to go a little bit higher than where they are now. I am very sure, and many Members of Parliament will attest to this, out there many Members of County Assemblies are aspiring to come to this House. Hon. Members of this House are aspiring to go to the other House or a little higher than that. I know some of the hon. Members in this House are aspiring to become governors or presidents. This is acceptable because without ambition - like the late Masinde Muliro said - you have no business being in politics. Former Members of Parliament can act as mentors to some of those young politicians and assist them to come up. Finally, I want the country to look at politics as a form of profession. This is because unless we do it that way, it will not have any meaning at all. With this society which will become organised, truly politics will be profession and we can follow it up even after retirement or losing a seat. With those few remarks, I thank hon. Keynan for bringing this Bill and I wholly support it."
