My issue was this: You know as a man you can marry a lady with a child. Once you marry, you are now two fathers of that child because there is another one there. Then you have your own biological children from this same lady and there is this child whom you are sharing with another father outside there.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity to comment on this Bill. This is an important Bill because it will mainstream issues to do with people with disabilities. This is a group which we need to take care of since it is a club that one can easily join. The Bill is timely and we need to support it.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also comment on this amendment Bill. I support this amendment. It is very encouraging that we are moving in the right direction to ensure that we take care of the interest of pensioners or those who are retiring. I want to commend Hon. Barasa for bringing this amendment Bill which will ensure that we take care of our people who are currently suffering. We must note that our people really suffer as they transition from employees of Government to pensioners. They have to wait for even two years ...
