    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, kindly give me a minute so that I finish this point. You have lived in Nairobi all your life working and you retire, then it dawns on you that you are living in a railways house and you are told that you have to vacate, because somebody else must occupy it. You left your home 40 years ago to come and work for railways. If there was a proper pension scheme, you can leave railways because you have no affinity with the village where you come from, you can rent a property in Nairobi and live until the end of your life. However, you leave and when you walk into the office of those who are managing your pension; wearing gold chains and rings and everything, they tell you to go home and wait for them to process it. The man is living like a king on your money and he tells you to go and wait. Next time when you come, the askaris at the gate cannot allow you to enter because you are a trespasser. You may end up prosecuted while looking for money. The man or woman who is sitting there, looking very successful and self-confident with your money is the one who is telling you that you are stranger. In fact, it is him or her who is a stranger to your money. Madam Temporary Speaker, this must change. This society will be remembered and so will be the Government remembered for streamlining pension funds management. I end by urging President Uhuru Kenyatta, that at some point in his presidency and building his legacy, he should set up an inquiry into the management of the funds of the NSSF from inception. The abuses may not have been in his term, but let him seize the moment today and ask: “where are pensioners‟ funds?” Assets have been bought, appropriated and flared away by those who bought them because they are in office. This is wrong, immoral and unacceptable in any country. Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to support."
