    "content": "On the question of retirement, this is a very appropriate amendment because of two reasons. One, we are, in fact, considering this under Section 25 of the Political Parties Act, where parties have been allocated funds to use for purposes of competitive politics. We cannot come again and give people who are participating in elective politics money to compete against me and he is purporting to be in retirement. That is not value for taxpayers’ money. If they want more money, we can allocate it under the amendment to the political parties, which appeared before my Committee yesterday. They are requesting for more money and we are going to allocate more funding to the political parties. Anybody who is in elective politics can participate in the use of that funding."
