    "content": "The Bill provides for a promising framework of ensuring that sponsors remit their employers’ contributions on time. In the proposed framework, the county governments will be required to pay interest if they fail to remit their workers’ contributions by 10th of every month. This is very good. The Bill also notes that there have been loses in contributions in the past and the Bill proposes that the LAPFUND and LAPTRUST be done away with and a new scheme established for employees. There is a problem here because there are billions of shillings which have not been remitted to these schemes and if they are done away with, then the employees may lose their contributions. It is my proposal that a secretariat is established to manage the old schemes: LAPTRUST and LAPFUND, like it was the case with Teleposta. The secretariat can run the two separately and ensure that employees are paid their dues. It means that young employees can join the new scheme but still be members of the old schemes as the Funds are run by the secretariat."
