• 13 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I just really want to agree. This amendment, going without this further amendment would really have been punitive to our people. This is because we know there are officers here where somebody just wakes up and puts a very flimsy accusation against you and you retire when you are still waiting for justice. What has been said is what will give justice to our people. view
• 12 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute after a long absence. I am very happy to be back. I would like to make my submissions on the Finance Bill. I note that in addition to formulating proposals for the 2014/2015 Budget, the Bill is also proposing amendments to the Competition and the NSSF Acts. I would like to speak in detail about the amendments that I have seen with regard to the NSSF Act. I would like to laud these amendments. These amendments, particularly the amendments to Section 47 of the NSSF Act, ... view
• 12 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Scheme. Therefore its operations must be aligned to the Retirement Benefits Authority Act of 1997. The amendment to Section 47 of the NSSF is removing the jurisdiction for making regulations as regards benefits accruing to us, as members of the NSSF from the Cabinet Secretary, to whom the NSSF Act, 2013 had given them. The Act of 2013 had indicated in Section 47 that regulations as regards benefits payable to members of the NSSF would be defined by the Cabinet Secretary. Essentially, Section 47 says that the Cabinet Secretary may make regulations to regulate any matter relating to benefits payable ... view
• 12 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, if you remove employers and employees from the NSSF, you will no longer have the NSSF. The money that is at the NSSF is from contributions of employers and employees. The reason we passed the NSSF Act of 2013 was to ensure that all the Kenyan workers, poor or rich, high or low class, informal or formal, were entitled to the right to social security as provided by the Constitution at Section 43(e). We want the NSSF to be stable. When we increased funding going to the NSSF, we want this funding to be well managed, so ... view
• 12 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: must be done right. The NSSF to take the direction that the 2013 Act anticipated, where people should contribute more, and be assured that at the end of the day when they retire, they will have some social security. We must ensure that the NSSF is well managed. The workers and the employers with the NSSF must also be the ones who determine who their representatives are. We want accountability and succession. We want people to move on and others to come in, but we want this to be done right. The NSSF needs to win back the confidence of ... view
• 30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I rise on a point of order under Standing Order No.97 on the Limitation of Debate which states that “The House may, on a Motion, made by any Member in accordance with this Standing Order, impose a limit in respect of debate on any particular Motion or Bill by allotting a limited period of time for such debate or by limiting the time during which Members may speak in such debate.” First, let me thank you for really managing the time that we have spent on Statements. We are all aware that the only time allotted ... view
• 30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I thought I was in the contribution mode. Mine is not an intervention. I just want to contribute to this amendment and say that during the Second Reading we raised the issue of the service boards. It is on record that the Chair rose and said that many of these things had already been sorted out. However, to move the human resource functions that are expressly given to the Commission and bring them to something you are calling a service board is even unconstitutional. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. ... view
