    "content": "do with pensions were going to the administered. So, basically it was addressing the issue of creating a pension scheme mainly for the Asian community that had been brought to Kenya by the colonial masters as they were then to work within the colonial government, to help also the implementation of the English laws. They started in India as they came in to do the railway and also for those that were lawyers. We borrowed quite a bit from the Indians as the Chair of Committee on Implementation might guide us further. We have all those Indian Properties Act and the various laws that we borrowed. We created this Act to sort out the issue of pensions due to the widows and orphans of the people who had emanated from India. In fact, the Act contains terminologies like Bombay Agency in India who would be paid on behalf of the Kenyan colonial government. As you know, even the name Bombay changed long time ago to Mumbai. That shows you how old and how abdicated this law is."
