Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I believe the Hon. Member is right. The widely known Maasais are those in Kenya. You cannot talk about Kenya without mentioning the Maasai. Even if I were taken to Tanzania, I would still be recognized as a Maasai there. We must pass this Bill...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I support this Bill. The retirement of Members of Parliament is not natural. In fact, when somebody leaves Parliament, it is not just because of age; one is forced to retire. It is important that our tomorrow is prepared today. It is good to have...
