    "content": "I know salaries were low compared to today’s salaries. So, in addition to what we are attempting to do, I would recommend that if it is feasible, we should do an amendment by way of indexing it to the current pensions. That way they will move up. For example, in the presidential retirement package we should say the salary should not be less than 80 per cent of the current sitting president’s salary. This way, they can fight inflation as they go on. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am convinced this is a fair proposal. Let us discuss it broadly. If we take the general rule, I am suggesting we shall have ring-fenced it from the politics of the day which can be quite destructive sometimes. As I have said, you can find you have fallen into disfavour and therefore they think you should not be included. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, with those few remarks, I strongly support."
