    "content": "with a clear way of ensuring that the pension scheme is run in an accountable way and that when Members leave, they do not have keep pushing for their money - they can get it without any problems. In this Parliament, we had to discuss the issue of former Members of Parliament who had not been paid their dues. I hope that going forward the Parliamentary Service Commission will look into the matter of pensions and make sure that they take care of the MPs who are in and out of the House so that we can take care of everyone. I would like to add my voice to that of Hon. Chris Wamalwa. To avoid future conflict between the Senate and the National Assembly, it would be a good thing for the Senate to get a chance to have a look at what is in this Bill. It is a Parliamentary Service Bill that takes care of both the National Assembly and the Senate. If we are to pass it and forward it directly as the National Assembly, we are likely to start a conflict between the two Houses that we have been hoping can come to an end so that we work in harmony. There are commissioners that come from the Senate. Once we pass the Bill in the National Assembly, I hope we can forward it to the Senate so that they can also have a look at it and we avoid competition between the two Houses because it is not healthy for the entire Parliament. With those few remarks, I support the Bill."
