    "content": "The Committee noted that since the passage of the County Governments Retirement Scheme Act, 2019, there have been several court cases challenging its constitutionality and legality that have stalled its implementation. To ensure conclusion of the matters raised in court and thereafter, and successful implementation of the Act, the Committee resolved that parties should resolve their issues amicably through court-annexed mediation. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Committee is currently awaiting to adopt the mediated settlement agreement from the stakeholders. It may be accompanied by amendments to the Act to give effect to the mediated settlement agreements. The Committee has scheduled a meeting to get a status update on the Senate Resolution on Registration of Persons With Disability (PWD) and the Social Assistance Cash Transfers also known as Inua Jamii Programmes. The Committee has also scheduled a meeting to follow up on the payment of one- off honorarium to the former councilors on Wednesday, 25th May, 2022. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as we near the end of the Twelfth Parliament, the Committee in the upcoming months, will be mostly focused on completing any pending business before it. We will also follow up on the implementation of its resolutions together with those of the House. In conclusion, I wish to thank your office for the support accorded to the Committee in undertaking its work. I also wish to acknowledge the secretariat and the support we received from the Office of the Clerk. Lastly, I wish to thank Members of the Committee for their diligence in executing the mandate of the Committee. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I present the Statement of the period under review on behalf of Sen. Sakaja."
