"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I start by thanking all the Senators who supported and made their contributions to this Bill. I am much honored that you took your time to read the Bill and understand the importance of our benefits. I start by thanking Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., for having taken time to second this Bill and try to remind us that today we are here, and tomorrow we could be on the other side. It is always important for you to look at life, as today you are winning and tomorrow you could lose. Your personal welfare is very important, more so, of a person who has given five or ten years of their life to serve this nation diligently; waking up very early in the morning and sometimes not even sleeping at all because of the interest of this nation. I also thank Sen. Mwaura for his contribution on this Bill. I am happy that he was able to illustrate clearly how desperate one becomes when he leaves and has to depend on another person for their benefits to be granted. Sen. Mwaura spoke a lot about the youth. By the end of his second term, he will not even be 45 years old to access his benefits. That tells you that this issue of your personal welfare or well-being when you are serving this nation is something that must always be considered. In the event that one wants to alter your benefits, they have to go back and think about the time that you served this country without asking any question. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
