    "content": "Just to mention a few, under Clause 3, the Senate introduced an extra objective of the purpose of the scheme. The objective of this scheme is to ensure that the employees who are working under county governments have a scheme which will help them in future. We have to recognise that most of the retirees in this country are left to the mercy of God because most of them have nothing to depend on after retiring. The dependency ratio in this country is very high. On average, every retiree has about five dependants. There is even a saying, referred to as agony of retirement, that in this country, rarely do we have people living for more than five years after their retirement. There is a Bill before this House, through which we want to revisit the retirement law to ensure that retirees access their pension immediately they retire. If, indeed, retirees do not access his pension within the first month of retirement, then they are supposed to be retained in the payroll until such a time that they access their pension so that they retain their dignity. Having worked for the country, we need this pension scheme to be implemented immediately. During public participation, we got a lot of information that most of the employees, especially the new ones who joined county governments, do not currently have a retirement The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
