    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, Part VI of the Bill contains the Savings and Transitional provisions. Clause 55(3) says- “A person who, at the commencement date, is an employee of the national government and whose remaining period of service is five years or less, is not eligible to join the Scheme and shall have his or her pension paid out under the provisions of the Pensions Act and the Widows and Children Pension Act or any other relevant legislation.” My only worry here is what will happen to that gap from 2013, when civil servants were seconded to the counties? Will that Scheme take care of them? The same applies to people who have been employees of local governments. Clause 54(4) states that- “A person who was an employee of a local authority and was a member of the Local Authorities Pensions Trust and whose remaining period of service is five years or less, is not eligible to join the Scheme and shall have his or her pension paid in accordance with the provisions of the Local Authorities Pensions Trust Rules, 2007 or any other relevant legislation. ” This is in accordance with Legal Notice No. 50. Therefore, if one is remaining with five years or less to retirement, they are not supposed to join, but they should benefit The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
