    "content": "clear and straightforward Bill. When it is assented to, it should be a clear and functional Act of Parliament that only requires implementation. If there is any change that must occur, be it political, it should find its way back to the Parliament to discuss it. We do not want administrative changes that cause so much harm and pain to the people who are affected by this Bill. I would have liked to extend that to the parliamentarians, but it will be a heavy expenditure on the Exchequer to bear that burden. So, I am quite satisfied with the few, who have been identified in this Bill, to enjoy the perks. This is because even when you reach that level you have travelled a path that you cannot ignore. It is important that we treat our retired people well and give them the dignity that they require in the office, so that they do not lose much. They can then look back and say: “Yes, I served my country with distinction.” Mr. Speaker, Sir, one other issue I must caution is that if you are going to enjoy these facilities, try your best, during the time you are in office, to be free from corruption so that we give you the perks with an open and clear heart. You deserve these perks and, therefore, need to enjoy the retirement benefits of that office. With those few remarks, I support this Bill. I want to thank the Mover of this Bill, Sen. Olekina. He thought about it and is well informed as to why it must be on this Floor. Thank you."
