    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. It is true that Mr. Lawrence Keitany, ex-service number 3636, was an employee of the Kenya Power and Lighting Company, who retired from the company's service as Deputy Managing Director with effect from 1st June, 2001. As per the Trust Deed and Rules prevailing at the time he retired, he was paid a lumpsum of Kshs540,000 (taxable) and a monthly pension of Kshs135,303. However, Mr. Keitany declined to be paid the lumpsum of Kshs540,000 and demanded, instead, to be paid one-third of his total contribution to the Retirement Benefit Scheme Fund. He has since instituted court proceedings against the Kenya Power and Lighting Company for payment of one- third of his lumpsum, and the matter is still pending in court awaiting determination. Despite taking the company to court, Mr. Keitany accepted the monthly pension of Kshs135,303, which is currently being remitted to his bank account."
