    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, matters to do with pension are very sensitive. In my earlier life as a Member of Parliament, I had to sit out there for a few years to wait for my pension, and it was not a nice experience. I had to complete various forms and seek information from people behind the counter to get my pension at that particular time. It is not an experience that you would enjoy. At the time you are serving and contributing to your pension, you want to have a smooth and comfortable life. In any event, life expectancy in Kenya is about 57 years, and if you look at the average age of Members of this House, all of us are close to death. In fact, many of us are living on borrowed time. Therefore, if we look at the life expectancy of Kenyans, matters pension should be taken seriously. Kenyans do not live for very long because we are stressed, politically very hot, our blood pressure is very high, and our sugar levels are wild. Therefore, pension reliability and security of pension consistency is something that all of us should talk about and know that it touches on the lives and future of our people."
