    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, this is a good Bill, but we shall be thinking of renaming the title, which is very long. We will also be proposing radical changes, so that it fits the demands. I say with a lot of conviction that the reason many people, including us and our staff in Parliament, sacrifice to have statutory deductions, is to ensure that there is a soft landing after retiring from active public service. We, therefore, hope that when such a law will come into effect, it will ensure transparency, equity, fairness and prudent use of resources. It should not be money lying idle for some few individuals to misappropriate. Let us learn from the experience of organisations in this country and internationally, where people have taken advantage and misused resources. Madam Temporary Speaker, there are many young people in this country who do not have many opportunities and enough income. Therefore, when they pay Kshs200 to the NSSF, it should be protected. We need to teach people to earn their pay. You should not live beyond your means."
