    "content": "amend the NSSF Act, so that that Fund is given its special status through a statute so that regardless of who is in power, the contributions of pensioners are protected. Secondly, Ministers who have been appointed to head the Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare go there with a mindset to manage the NSSF. This is something that must also be addressed through a circular or something like that. The former Minister for Labour just woke up one day and purportedly called a Press conference and said that he had cancelled tenders. This was investigated and died somewhere. Those are issues we must bring to an end. Finally, it is not just enough for this House to produce reports. I am on record and I can predict that the most important and powerful Committee in the next House will be the Committee on Implementation. This Committee never existed in our previous Standing Orders. It is something that was decided in the last Parliament. I really want to challenge the leadership of the Committee on Implementation to take up this critical Report and ensure that those who have been indicted in it are held accountable. That is the only way we can be accountable to the taxpayers."
