"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I conclude, I want to thank Sen. Wambua because it is painful. Money has been deducted over years from peoples’ salaries and it is not remitted. Some of the proposals we are bringing as the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare--- I am glad that The County Allocation of Revenue Bill (Senate Bill No.7 of 2020) has been pushed a bit. Once we get full verification of all these debts from each county, for example, what each owes the Local Authorities Pensions Trust Fund (LAPTRUST), Local Authorities Provident Fund (LAPFUND) and what was has not paid as PAYE. We will propose that we deduct that money at source in the County Allocation of Revenue Act (CARA) and pay LAPTRUST, LAPFUND and KRA what is owed by these people. This is because when we give that money to the counties, they are not remitting it. Therefore, it is ordinarily the former local government workers who are suffering by not getting benefits they worked hard for. I will bring that proposal, and I hope the Senators will consider it positively."
