    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I join my colleagues who have spoken earlier in, first of all, thanking Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo for presenting this petition on behalf of the former leaders. Secondly, I thank the former leaders for the path they have taken for their matter to be addressed, by petitioning this House, by exploiting Article 119 of the Constitution. I know that other people would have rushed to courts and used all other means to get redress. However, they chose to petition this House. It is important that we expedite the process. I know that you will refer it to the relevant standing committee. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is important that the welfare of our past leaders is looked into. They must live a decent life that befits their status in the society. I know that they have made their case and proposal. It may not be possible to grant them all that they are asking for. However, all the same, it is important that we look into it and see what is sustainable and what can be done for them to live a decent live. Therefore, I support the petition and encourage that it be referred to the relevant standing committee. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
