THAT, Clause 26 Bill be amended— (a) by renumbering Clause 26 as 26(1); and (b) in sub clause (3)(b) by deleting the words “fifty per cent of his or her sponsor’s contribution” and substituting therefor the words “the sponsor’s contribution as may be prescribed by the Retirement Benefits Authority”. This is just housekeeping on numbering because we have Clause 26 and then 26(2). Therefore, we should introduce 26(1) so that we can move in sequence. This will be reasonable.

This particular paragraph is about approving the age. We did not want the board to have discretion of approving the age of an individual because it is clear on the identification documents.

This is for the purpose of harmonisation of penalties because elsewhere in the Bill it is providing for Kshs5 million and now it is contradicting itself by changing on Clause 49 to Kshs500,000.

Just to clarify, Hon. Chairman, you know we were not actually comparing Kshs500,000 with three years, or Kshs5 million with two years. Rather, we were harmonising with Clause 48 where it is… In Clause 48, the offence is actually being fined Kshs5 million or imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or both. It is actually the same Bill. So, we are harmonising Clause 49 with Clause 48. We were actually saying we cannot… Now, when we reach Clause 49, it goes to Kshs500,000 and three years.
