    "content": " I hope I will not be required to move again. All the same, I am capable of moving everywhere. As I stand to second the Bill by Hon. Njagagua, I thank him for the work he has done. You know, coming up with a Bill and pushing it to this level is not easy. Therefore, we need to thank him especially recognising that Private Members’ Bills are very few. It is because it is not very easy. They are still in the pipeline. The county pension scheme came to our Committee last year. In line with what we are required to do, we did public participation. On the basis of memoranda we had received by 19th February 2018, which was the deadline for forwarding memoranda by the various stakeholders, we went ahead and did public participation as required by the Constitution of Kenya. The supreme law requires that we do public participation for every Bill or transaction we make on behalf of Kenyans. Quite a number of organisations came to make presentations on the various issues affecting them. Among them were representatives of the Local Authorities Provident Fund, popularly known as LAPFUND. We also had the Ministry of Public Service, Youth and Gender Affairs. In the same meeting, we had a presentation by the Society of Clerks-at-the-Table (SOCATT) (Kenyan Chapter). It is an organisation which brings together all the Clerks-at-the- Table in Kenyan legislative assemblies, including the county assemblies. We also had the Kenya Union of Clinical Officers. It is a union representing clinical officers in all the hospitals in Kenya. In the same breath, we had the National Consultative Forum of County Public Service Boards, which brings together all the 47 county public service boards across the country. We also received views from the Association of Pension Administrators of Kenya, which brings together pension administrators from all over the country. The Kenya County Government Workers Union which is a union for all the county governments’ workers made presentations. We also had a Mr. Bii, who was representing the Kenya Union of Nurses. We had the Council of Governors (CoG), which made a presentation. We also had representation from the County Assembly of Nairobi, who came on their own. We had Hon. Joe Donde, who is popularly known on issues of bank interest rate capping. We had the Kenya National Union of Nurses. Hon. Muriuki Njagagua, who is the Mover of this Bill, appeared before us. Finally, we also had the National Treasury, which was represented by the Cabinet Secretary, Mr. Henry Rotich. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
