Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity.

medical tourism. We all want the best medical services and once we pass this Bill, we want to call upon the Government and the counties to improve the healthcare facilities. During the COVID-19 period, many of our facilities were not ready to have isolation centres and ICUs. They did not even have enough ventilators.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to also say that I support the Bill. It is a very important Bill. I listened to Hon. Wanga outline that this amendment is towards enriching the Parliamentary Pensions Act, which is already operational. We have a contributory pension scheme where we contribute around 12 per cent while the Government contributes 25 per cent.
