fact, despite inviting the National Treasury to come and answer the Questions on Tuesday, they sent a response that it was not possible for them to be appearing before the Committee on Tuesday because of unforeseen reasons. However, what we discussed this morning is that, immediately we transact the Supplementary Estimates that are before the House now, we will prioritise the National Treasury to appear before the Committee next Tuesday. Thank you.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Bill which is intended to assist former Members of Parliament who are all over the country and who served this country diligently during their time and right now, because of the change of time, the pension they are earning does not really support them well. So, they are in real trouble. Once this Bill was tabled in the House on 3rd July 2019, it was committed to the Committee and in line with the requirements of the Constitution; we did public participation by putting the advert on the media on 18th ...

meeting, there were several Members who were not able to come. In fact, we were told that this is a repetition of the story which was seen during the various stakeholder consultations during the Akiwumi Commission sittings. When they went all over the country, there was a time the former Members of Parliament could not travel from their market places to reach the nearest county headquarters and then district headquarters because they did not have fare. That is why we plead with members of the public. As we present this, we do not want stories tomorrow that Members of Parliament ...

Akiwumi Commission that we backdate to 1st July 2010, the country will be required to fund it to a tune of Kshs1.7 billion for a one-off payment. Effectively, if we assume that we implement it, in the first year we will be required to use around Kshs1.7 billion to clear the arrears, then continue to pay for the current year and subsequent years which will amount to almost Kshs200 million. That is affordable. It is not more than Kshs20 million per month, but we will have enabled former Members to live a decent life. On the same note, there was ...
