• 4 Dec 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the Bill also elaborately details the law and how it works when one retires. It also talks of early retirement benefits and membership. It also explains that if one is an employee of the county government, they can join the Scheme. However, if one is currently on an existing public service pension scheme and who has less than five years to retire, the Bill says one should not join the Scheme. They should wait to be given the benefits through the retirement scheme governing public servants. view
• 4 Dec 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, Part IV provides for the establishment and management of the County Governments' Retirement Scheme, which shall be administered by the Board in accordance with the Act and other relevant laws. It contains the financial provisions and establishes the County Retirement Scheme Fund. It is a good law because there was no scheme in place earlier and our people who were working in the counties can now have a harmonised scheme. We usually hear a lot of issues outside there because of the existence of the Local Authorities Provident Fund(LAPFUND) and the Local Authorities Pensions Trust (LAPTRUST). This ... view
• 4 Dec 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, Part VI of the Bill contains the Savings and Transitional provisions. Clause 55(3) says- “A person who, at the commencement date, is an employee of the national government and whose remaining period of service is five years or less, is not eligible to join the Scheme and shall have his or her pension paid out under the provisions of the Pensions Act and the Widows and Children Pension Act or any other relevant legislation.” My only worry here is what will happen to that gap from 2013, when civil servants were seconded to the counties? Will that ... view
• 4 Dec 2018 in Senate: from the LAPTRUST. Is that still in place? These are the gaps the Committee is supposed to look at, so that many people are not locked out. Madam Temporary Speaker, the members of the LAPFUND and the LAPTRUST, as the umbrella retirement funds, shall be transitioned into the Scheme. All the records of the LAPFUND and LAPTRUST retirement funds shall be transferred into the Scheme Administrator. Finally, Madam Temporary Speaker, Clause 57(1) of the Bill says that any eligible employee who joined the service or a sponsor on permanent and pensionable terms after the first general elections under the Constitution ... view

• 29 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, again, thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. The Bill is set to provide a framework for the implementation of early childhood education, as stipulated in the Fourth Schedule of our Constitution.

In fact, for the first time, this Bill sets out that framework that lists what needs to be done in terms of implementing the requirement of that Schedule. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Article 53 of the ... view

The education board shall maintain a register of all accredited education centres. The standard and the quality of education that is imparted to the children in those centres is also a requirement, so that quality is ensured. There ... view
