National Assembly Speaker Dithapelo Keorapetse has acknowledged that many former Members of Parliament face difficulties finding employment after leaving office. To address this, the National Assembly is establishing a savings and credit cooperative SACCOS and exploring investment, insurance, and retirement solutions. Keorapetse stated that while special rights protect MPs during their tenure, many struggle with employability and insufficient retirement benefits afterwards.
