Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also stand to support this Petition. I have a personal experience where the effect of KenGen causes disastrous damages. A good example is that when the Masinga Dam and those other dams are full, they release a lot of water downstream from Garissa up to the Tana Delta. All the farms are flooded, families are displaced and some houses are water logged once or twice every year. The destruction is just too much and nobody is there to compensate those families. They do their farming and establish their perennial crops. All over a sudden, this ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. I also sincerely thank my colleague Hon. Barasa for coming up with this amendment, which is timely. Pension delay has become very chronic. I know of pensioners who have stayed for seven years waiting for their pension. Because of the stress of waiting for their money, many of them die or get chronic illnesses. By the time they get their pension, if ever they do before death, it does not even help them. Many of them die without getting their pension. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for ...

The centralisation of pension – that every pensioner must come to Nairobi to look for his or her pension – is a serious problem that needs to be addressed. Why can the Government not decentralise the pension processing points? Even if payment is ultimately done in Nairobi, at least pension processing points need to be decentralised to as down as the sub-county levels. A pensioner should be able to process all her papers at the sub-county pension office so that by the time it is sent to Nairobi it is only a matter of payment. This is what is supposed ...

Okay. My strong recommendation is that let us pay pensioners full salaries until their pensions are in their accounts. Thank you very much.

Community health work is a form of employment in Kenya. Many of our school leavers who are not able to progress join community health workers and provide very good services, as it has been said by my colleagues. It is employment for them and the little they get is consumed within the community, and it helps the local economy.
