    "content": "Committee that the Report was tabled on 30th April 2014. This is worrying. Perhaps a number of its recommendations might have been overtaken by events. Since the NSSF is a very important Fund, I hope the recommendations from the Committee will be taken seriously for the benefit of the people of Kenya. The NSSF is as old as independent Kenya. Therefore, this is a Fund that Kenyans expect to be performing very well for the benefit of pensioners. A number of such Funds, globally, such as Malaysia and our neighbour Tanzania, are doing very well to the extent that they are competing with private companies as far as doing bigger infrastructural development in their respective countries is concerned. If this Fund was managed well and its vision, mission and objectives followed, I believe it could be the best in this region, Africa and even globally. However, perhaps, there are a number of challenges as it has been enumerated by the Chairman and his able Vice-Chairman. I do not want to repeat what has been said, but a major problem that is facing most Government institutions is the land issue. This afternoon, we had interaction with the Kenya Railways officials and the challenge they are experiencing is land. There is a tendency of people grabbing Government land, which is a bad precedent. The Government is advocating for institutions such as schools to get title deeds for security purposes. I hope all Government institutions will benefit from that. I believe that will be a solution to some of the problems that are facing these organisations. Without wasting time and for the sake of my colleagues, I beg to support."
