    "content": "originally set up to cater for the senior cadre staff of local authorities and the rest of the staff respectively; recalling that later, both the LAPTRUST and LAPFUND allowed both senior and junior staff of local authorities to join their preferred scheme, implying that the two Funds were offering similar services to their clientele; noting that the creation of county governments by the Constitution of Kenya, 2010 effectively scrapped local authorities under which the two Funds operate; further aware that, whereas the two Funds are being enforced by county governments, plans are underway to create a tailor-made retirement benefits scheme for county government workers; considering that these two Funds and the envisaged retirement benefits scheme for county governments will all serve the same employees and employers; this House urges the Government, through the National Treasury, to merge and restructure the administration of LAPTRUST and LAPFUND so as to accord with the devolved system of Government rather than creating a parallel fund, so as to eliminate unhealthy competition, duplication of roles and loss of public funds through multiple retirement benefits funds."
