• 18 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to inform my good friend for a long time. This is a friend from school days. I just wanted to inform hon. T.J. Kajwang’ that, actually, that is already provided in the Bill at Clause 4. It states as follows:- The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 18 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: “Where an entitled person holds any appointive of elective post in or under the government which there is attached a rate of pay, the benefits which are entitled shall be reduced.” It is already catered for and I just wanted, as I conclude, to add that, Clause3 was actually inserted there by the Budget and Appropriations Committee. It was not my original intention. view
• 11 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that the Retirement Benefits (Deputy President & Designated State Officers) Bill, No.38 of 2013 be now read a Second Time. view
• 11 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: I want to thank the House Business Committee (HBC) for prioritizing this Bill to appear on the Order Paper even though it should have come a little earlier. From the title of the Bill, you will realize that the main beneficiary of this Bill is the Deputy President and also other designated State officers as I will move in a short while. If you read Article 147 of the Constitution, it says “The Deputy President shall be the principal assistant of the President and shall deputise for the President in the execution of the President’s functions.” When the President is ... view
• 11 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: attempt to bring a Bill or an Act of Parliament in place and which Bill we passed allowing also for the provision of the retirement benefits of the Deputy President and other designated State officers but unfortunately the President then refused to assent to the Bill but assented only the amendment to his retirement Bill. Therefore, this Act will provide for the granting of pension and other retirement benefits to the persons who hold the offices of the Deputy President and holders of designated State offices upon their ceasing to hold office as such. view
• 11 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: I want to emphasise “upon their ceasing to hold office as such” and not upon leaving politics. To provide for transitional purposes for the benefits to accrue to persons who have served as Prime Minister and Vice-President. view
• 11 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, to provide for the Deputy President whom the first holder of the office we know is Hon. Samoei. We are also providing for other offices. I want to state that the other offices we are providing for is the Office of the Speaker of the National Assembly and the Office of the Speaker of the Senate. These are also heads of the third arm of the government. As we speak, there is no provision in law on how to provide for retirement benefits of the offices of the two Speakers. This Bill, if it becomes law, ... view
• 11 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: The other officers who are benefiting but on transitional basis are the two offices; the Office of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Kenya. We will not, unless we change the Constitution, have another Prime Minister in this country. The only Prime Minister we have and we are likely to have for the rest of the history of this country is the former Prime Minister. So for transitional period, we are also providing for the retirement benefits of the Prime Minister. Also to be provided benefits is the one who has occupied the Office of the Vice-President and I ... view
• 11 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: I want to state that there are people who have sacrificed for this country in the way of offering service and, therefore, once those officers leave office, it is only natural that the Republic of Kenya provides for their retirement just like we do to other officers in the Government. The former Prime Minister of the Republic of Kenya, as we speak, does not have any retirement benefits attached to him despite the fact that he has served this country in different capacities and he has served this country with diligence. One may not agree with him but you can ... view
