12 Nov 2019 in National Assembly:
That is not the intention of what Hon. Mbadi wanted. That is not the intention of our current status. If you serve for one term, you will have no pension. For you to get pension, you must serve for two terms.

12 Nov 2019 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this will have a very huge financial implication to this country considering the fact that money has not been catered for in the budget. We have just tabled a Supplementary Budget because the economy is not doing very well. So, where do we get the money? I think the Finance and National Planning Committee will oppose that amendment The second amendment, which I am going to oppose from the Finance and National Planning Committee states:

“That the Committee proposes that the pension be backdated to 1st July 2010.” This is almost 10 years. When this becomes law, the likely cost is approximately Kshs1.7 billion in the first year of implementing the Bill including arrears from the effective date. The Government could pay between Kshs15.075 million per month to Kshs180 million annually.

12 Nov 2019 in National Assembly:
So, the purpose of Hon. Mbadi’s Bill is very good, but the amendments by the Committee are far a wretch. This House is supposed to discuss laws in a very sober way so that we can help Kenyans. The reason we brought this law is that former Members earn Kshs6,000. Of what value is Kshs 6,000? This Bill is taking it to Kshs100,000 and that is what we must focus on. We cannot backdate it. If we do that and we start introducing other things, the President, because of the state of the economy, might exercise Article 115 of the ...

12 Nov 2019 in National Assembly:
Here we are making laws for the whole republic. We must consider pension for teachers, nurses and civil servants. If we go this route, tomorrow we will be in the headlines and they will say that we are “greedy legislators,” who have now brought on board those who lost. So, let us not pollute the environment. Let Kenyans hear that today former Members of Parliament are earning Kshs6,000. Such money is not even enough for bus fare form the rural parts to Nairobi and accommodation. So, we are increasing it to Kshs100,000 to sustain that respect and ensure they can ...

12 Nov 2019 in National Assembly:
However, the two amendments by the Committee, the one trying to bring on board Members who served from 1984 for only one term is not proper. I will oppose it. The other one is the issue of backdating the pension. If we backdate it, the amount will be too much. Right

12 Nov 2019 in National Assembly:
now, we have a Supplementary Budget and I scanned through it and noticed that even the National Government Development Constituencies Fund is losing Kshs1 billion. The problem in this House is that people do not read. The only Members who read seriously are Hon. Wamalwa, Hon. (Ms.) Shamalla and Hon. Jude Njomo when it comes to interest rates and my good lawyer. I have tabled the Supplementary Budget and the NG-CDF is losing Kshs1 billion and the National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF) is losing a certain amount of money. Tomorrow, they will come here and pass. So, let us ...

12 Nov 2019 in National Assembly:
Going forward, as a Members of Parliament, you must plan your life in threefold. You must leave a legacy for your constituency, so that people will remember when Chris Wamalwa was the Member for Kiminini, this road and health centres was built. You must also have a plan for your family and life. You must have a plan for your children and life after you leave politics. You must also have a plan for life after. Those of us who believe in the living God, you must have a plan. You will not go to heaven if you have no ...

12 Nov 2019 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, just to juggle my memory, apart from Tuesdays like today because of the House Business Committee (HBC), every day by six o’clock, I am in my house. This is not because I have nothing to do, but because I want to sit with my children and see their school books. The small one cannot go to bed before seeing me. So, this is about planning. My neighbor, Hon. Jude Njomo, can tell you. So, even those who are seated here, we will not pass another pension Bill. You must plan your life.
