Again, the money is supposed to be paid because we have been investing it. Also, first- timers should get some money from the Pensions Fund or from the Government. Currently, first- timers are only paid their contributions. That is not very encouraging. Again, I appeal to the officers who are supposed to do this, especially the Members we are appointing to the Committee to look into this matter critically. As one of my colleagues mentioned here, once we leave this House, we become unemployable. Some of us may not have any other business. Therefore, once you are out there, the people who to used run after you day in, day out and call you every other time will start looking down upon you. You will receive no calls. You will not get any visitors. You become some kind of a villain despite the fact that you are currently adored as a very senior person. You are somebody who had an entourage of a bodyguard, a driver and others officers. Therefore, we should, at least, assist our colleagues to maintain the same standards of life. Without much ado, let me take this opportunity to pass my condolences to the family of Hon. Kabeere M'Mbijiwe who comes from Meru County where I also come from. He was a Member of Parliament for many years and a Cabinet Minister in the previous Government. Kabeere M'Mbijiwe is a man I knew. He has a very large chunk of land in my constituency and therefore, I knew him well. On the same token, let me pass my condolences to the people of Nyeri, the family of Governor Wahome Gakuru, who passed on yesterday. I tell the family that the people of Meru and Igembe Central are with them in prayer. I support."
