    "content": "from the LAPTRUST. Is that still in place? These are the gaps the Committee is supposed to look at, so that many people are not locked out. Madam Temporary Speaker, the members of the LAPFUND and the LAPTRUST, as the umbrella retirement funds, shall be transitioned into the Scheme. All the records of the LAPFUND and LAPTRUST retirement funds shall be transferred into the Scheme Administrator. Finally, Madam Temporary Speaker, Clause 57(1) of the Bill says that any eligible employee who joined the service or a sponsor on permanent and pensionable terms after the first general elections under the Constitution shall be deemed to be a member of the Scheme with effect from the date of employment. This is actually joining these together and doing away with those other schemes. We await the report of the Committee. This is a very good Bill. This is the first time it is coming here because of what we have in the country. We need to take care of our people who are working in the counties, those who came from the Civil Service, those who were previously working in the local authorities and the new ones who are there now, so that they can have benefits when they retire from the public service."
