    "content": "There are loud consultations around here. Before I proceed, this is my first time to contribute in this House. It is my first time to be in this House. Sincerely speaking, I want to thank my party leadership – the Wiper Democratic Movement (WDM) and the WDM Members of Parliament who were elected to this 12th Parliament and who enabled my nomination to be a reality. When you go out there, the lives that former Members of Parliament are living are totally pathetic. I urge the three Members who have been proposed to that Committee to take this issue of the pension scheme seriously. As one Member proposed earlier, we need to look into how we can get pension after serving for one term. It is true. There are so many former Members of Parliament in Nairobi who are unable to go home because after serving for one term, they spend all their resources, have nothing else remaining and nobody can employ them. Being employed as a Member of Parliament is one of the top most forms of employment that one can get in this country. Therefore, I support the appointment of the three Members and sincerely ask them to go out and be very conscious of what they will make out of that Committee as far as the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) and pension scheme are concerned.
