"content": "As a representative of the people, you will never deny that you are unable to handle a matter. You have to be in their shoes to ensure that you have helped your people. As such, how do you expect this MP to give his people whatever is in his possession? At the end of his term, in the unlikely event that he does not make it to this august House, the image in the public is that you have been a Member of Parliament. There is no single office under the sun that will employ you. This is because you have raised your status in the public domain. If that is coupled with lack of pension, and people are unable to meet their daily needs, you will have put such Members between a rock and a hard place. I am, therefore, in support of the Pension (Amendment) Bill. Members who have served one, two or three terms should be treated under one package; all MPs need to get pension. With those remarks, I support."
