    "content": "As we discuss this Bill, we should also think of the fate of those who retired early like the teachers who retired from 1997 but have not been paid their retirement benefits. We should also think of those who have retired, like chiefs and civil servants. People retire and payment is delayed. This puts them in a very pathetic situation because one was used to getting a salary and then when they retire, it becomes very difficult to stay without payment. There was Hon. Musila’s Bill which was passed in this Parliament. It said that people should be getting their pension benefits immediately they leave employment. If not, they should continue with their salaries until they are paid their benefits. The Government should take care of the payment, especially for the Civil Service. It should not be delayed because this would lead to suffering of our people."
