    "content": "Another thing that should come up clearly in the Bill is that from the training, we could include an element to make the retirees community elders who are trained to take care of the communities. They should not be dumped to go and use their retirement benefits. If we give the issue this dimension, I believe the retirees are going to appreciate themselves and be useful members of the society. What kills most of our retirees, both from the national Government and county governments is not lack of a source of income or lack of a source of sustenance, but it is a culture of wanting to spend all the retirement benefits and forgetting about tomorrow. As much as people retire probably after 60 years or earlier, it is after this time that people want to spend more. It is after this time that very many diseases attack because of old age. Part of the retirement benefits that are deducted should be put in a health benefit scheme. As much as we take care of the social part, we should have an amount set aside to take care of the elderly by way of their health from the time they are still working."
