• 5 Dec 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Allow me to congratulate you on your nomination as the Temporary Speaker. You have discharged your mandate very well since yesterday, when you took the role of the Temporary Speaker and we are proud of you. I happen to be a Member of the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. I know that most of my colleagues want to contribute to this Bill and that is why the list is long. This Bill has elicited a lot of reactions and concerns. After the gazette notice that was issued in 2010 by the National Treasury, there ... view
• 5 Dec 2018 in Senate: 2012 which gives the county governments authority to have such a County Pension Fund. Therefore, it is important. I know that this preceded the Local Authorities Provident Fund Act and that is why there is this conversation about the Local Authorities Pensions Trust (LAPTRUST) and the Local Authorities Provident Fund (LAPFUND) that is already here. I want to look at Clause 6(1) and (2) which say that- “(1) The management of the Scheme shall be vested in a Board of Trustees of the Scheme. (2) The Board shall consist of the following members-” They have indicated that the people shall ... view
• 5 Dec 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, Clause 7 states that- “A person is qualified for appointment as a Trustee if that person- (a) is a citizen of Kenya; (b) holds a degree from a university recognized in Kenya; (c) has at least five years' experience in- (i) finance; (ii) law; (iii) economics; (iv) actuarial science; or, (v) any other profession or work experience directly relevant to the functions of the Board; and (d) meets the requirements of leadership and integrity set out in Chapter Six of the Constitution.” Madam Temporary Speaker, when we issue regulations and guidelines, we should look at the certificate ... view
• 5 Dec 2018 in Senate: this Fund, so that they are not siphoned by predators who want to dip their hands into the cookie jar. For example, there have been allegations of corruption in the National Social Security Fund (NSSF). Therefore, we hope that the proposed Board will ensure that it protects the contributions of the people and ensure efficient management of the Scheme. Madam Temporary Speaker, there is an aspect of transition. I do not want to go to the specific provision on administration. However, I request that we amend that Clause so that we have an external administrator for the Local Authorities Pensions ... view
• 5 Dec 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, there are issues of matrimonial succession. When a person retires, it is difficult for them to follow up on their money and some of them die while following because we have made the process so complicated. Therefore, we hope by making it a one Scheme, we will have a one stop shop so that when a person retires, he or she does not need to call his or her Senator or any other leader saying that the NSSF or the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) have not paid them. These are the complaints that we get from people ... view
• 5 Dec 2018 in Senate: If there is lack of due diligence by the Board or management, they must be held accountable. view
• 5 Dec 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, this is a good Bill, but we shall be thinking of renaming the title, which is very long. We will also be proposing radical changes, so that it fits the demands. I say with a lot of conviction that the reason many people, including us and our staff in Parliament, sacrifice to have statutory deductions, is to ensure that there is a soft landing after retiring from active public service. We, therefore, hope that when such a law will come into effect, it will ensure transparency, equity, fairness and prudent use of resources. It should not be ... view
• 5 Dec 2018 in Senate: The Building Bridges Initiative team has a working document. I expected them to come up with proposals to ensure that the people who are in employment and the unemployed are all well taken care of. However, their document is discussing how to expand the Executive and have a three-tier Government. view
• 5 Dec 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, please, add me two minutes so that I can conclude? view
