This is absolute impersonation. You are impersonating. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. We have passionately debated this Bill. It is simply because it is not touching so much on us. In fact, it does not. This Bill touches on former Members who sat here between 1984 and 2001. I believe none of us was here at that time. For purposes of posterity, since we are now going back a little bit so that we can cover this, it is important for us to thank Hon. John Mbadi for having brought this Bill. Also, he has for the first time ...

Madam Speaker, this country is today reeling from vices such as corruption. Sorry, I did not look up. Sorry, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, a great son of Kenya. I mentored him when he was in Form One and you can see where he is seated. That is the advantage of life. You can see where he is and where I am. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Thank you for those accolades. Yes, now he is my boss. That is good enough. Life is like that. I wish this Bill was brought at that time because what comes in mind are my first two Members of Parliament who served from 1963 to 1988. As expected, these were arch rivals in politics. They could not see eye to eye because they were competing for the seat until they interchanged it between themselves. However, what brought my curiosity is their sunset days. They were best of friends. In my estimation, what brought them ...

towns. Those living in rural places may be living in deplorable state of shelter. Medication is important for them. These are people who are advancing in age and require frequent visits to hospitals and doctors and have a big expense to incur. Commuting is important because they have to go and collect this money. Former Members of Parliament are part and parcel of our lives as they are inseparable from harambees . We have been going to harambees . When you get kicked out of Parliament, you can no longer afford to go for harambees . You feel it is ...

dens or places where they brew karubu and such other funny drinks, which are cheap and dangerous to their health. Finally, former councillors are another crop of leaders that we have neglected, as a country. We will go down the annals of history that we do not treat our former leaders properly. Until the other day, we had no pension or retirement scheme for our former Heads of State and former Vice-Presidents.

Thank you for the one minute. On the former councillors, whom we have actually neglected, we are informed that their Bill is in the Senate. As the National Assembly, we call upon the Senate to fast-track that Bill and bring it here, so that we can pass it and provide for some pension for the former councillors, who are living in abject poverty. They are looking upon us to come to their aid. With those remarks, I support this Bill.
