Hon. Deputy Speaker, I agree that employers must get clearance certificates. Clearance certificates should be affordable. Sometimes getting a clearance certificate is expensive. You can be taken from one place to another. For example, somebody may be all the way in Trans Nzoia and is told to come to Nairobi, but cannot get clearance as is required.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support this amendment, but I do not want to do so with my hands and legs as just mentioned by my colleague. Hon.

They are vulnerable and sickly. The Member of Parliament must assist in paying the bills whenever they are taken to hospital. They ought to be taught how to use the money. I have heard of a case where an old man of over 60 years got robbed or married a third wife. So, we should assist them on how to use the money once they are paid.

I do not want to take much time, but we have talked about it many times. We want to reduce it to one month and assist the retirees to use the money honourably to prevent those who come to reap where they did not sow, particularly the next of kin. I have had cases where documents are forged by those who are interested.
