    "content": "Honestly speaking, it would be a great failure on the part of the National Assembly to treat former MPs in such a manner. Hon. Members who served between 1984 and 2001 are some of the most distinguished politicians in this country. Some of us are serving our first term and we hope we will not fall in that situation. They are not in a good state. It is as if being an MP in this country, and subsequently losing an election, is a curse and punishment until you die. He was very candid enough that he gets less than Kshs20,000 every month. I wondered since he said he is not employable and cannot do anything. The only thing he is left with now is to run simple errands for party leaders so that he can put some food on the table. Woe unto you if you leave Parliament and you are still active having children whom you have to educate and feed. This becomes a very desperate situation."
