• 12 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 5 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The Chamber is free seating. Every Member can sit on any place. With COVID-19, the number that you are assigned in the list is the number that you sit on. I would like to say that as the Member has correctly pointed out, there is a change in leadership and, therefore, I just want to commit that aside from the sensationalisation which the Member intends to push, we shall look as a Committee at the question and see whether it is properly before our Committee as far as the questions he is raising are concerned. view
• 5 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: However, I just urge the Member to remove the sensationalisation so that we deal with the issues as they are. Even when you see things on the newspaper, you cannot come to the House and use them as a basis for agitation. This is because this House does not allow for us to come and use the newspapers as a basis for sensationalising matters that are otherwise very serious and Kenyans deserve answers. So, I just like the Member to separate the politics from the real issues and he will get an answer that will satisfy not just him but ... view
• 5 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, if we can get the next three weeks given that we are only meeting virtually, we should be able come back with an answer to the Member. view

• 5 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: I thank Hon. Mwadime very much for carrying the amendments on behalf of the Pensions Management Committee of Parliament. To respond to what Hon. (Dr.) Otiende raised, there are three Bills amending the Parliamentary Pensions Act. The first one is Bill No.1 which was carried by Hon. Mbadi, which we completed in the morning that was dealing with the Members of Parliament who served from 1984 to 2001. Then there is Bill No.2 which belongs to Hon. Ruth Mwaniki which had the same effect as Hon. Mbadi’s Bill, and now that Hon. Mbadi’s Bill was carried, it is probably going ... view
• 5 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The Bill has 17 Clauses. Mainly, what the Bill seeks to do, as Hon. Mwadime mentioned, is to align the Parliamentary Pensions Act to the advisory by the SRC, which is that no State officer should benefit from pension and gratuity from the same public service employer for a similar period. I am just trying to scheme through it now. Apart from redefining the age of a child, which this Bill changes from 16 years to 18 years, there is also further amendment to bring it to 25 years for children who are still in ... view
• 5 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: The other amendment that is being made is that if you go through the gratuity scheme, there will be the 35 per cent of your basic salary. This is being amended because the previous Act had all the allowances listed, which include constituency allowance, responsibility allowance, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 5 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: house allowance and other allowances. However, the SRC has since separated the salary into two to have 60 per cent as basic salary and 40 per cent as allowances. So, you will get 31 per cent of the basic salary at the end of your five-year term as gratuity. However, if you continue on pension scheme and you do your second term, you will continue to earn, as it has been said, ⅟3. So, if you give an example of the current situation, those who have served the last term and this term, their monthly basic pension will be Kshs126,000 ... view
• 5 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: I just want to finish because you have given me some extra time. I would like to talk about the pension buyback scheme. view
