    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as a Member of this House, I do not know any business that could be of such high priority and importance than this Bill that has taken us two years to conclude this issue which is really concerns the former MPs. These are men and women who have served in this House, some for one term and others for more than one term and they made serious sacrifices. Leadership in itself is a sacrifice and to be a MP and take the risk of running and winning in elections is not a small thing. It is for such reasons that these Hon. Members should have been appreciated long time ago for the services they rendered for this great nation of ours. This is their right and it is not a privilege. Our Constitution is very clear that anyone who has served in any form of employment is supposed to be accorded his pension depending on the years they have served in that organisation. Someone who served for two years will be compensated for the two years he has served and if one has served for 10 years, it is equally so. These Hon. Members served in this House and we are being told they are living poor lives."
