• 5 Dec 2018 in Senate: At the rise of the House, Sen. Farhiya tried explaining to me the differences, but going through the Bill, all these offices are clearly individuals and not institutions. If they are individuals, we are creating a top-heavy Scheme, where the CEO, the Administrator, The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 5 Dec 2018 in Senate: the Fund manager and the Custodian will all be earning a lot of money from the contributions of the workers, who will be expecting to earn their pension. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, once the Scheme is in place, we need to be very clear--- view
• 5 Dec 2018 in Senate: I am sorry, Madam Temporary Speaker. I had not noticed the change of guard in the Chair. Madam Temporary Speaker, once this Bill is passed, we will have the issue of how to manage the contributions of members. This Bill is quite unclear on the mode of investments. At one time, we had the madness of the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) buying land anywhere and everywhere. There was a managing trustee who was used as a conduit to buy land from the politically-correct. People would be allocated public land and the NSSF would buy it at three or four ... view
• 5 Dec 2018 in Senate: Nairobi at the National Treasury or wherever, becoming the chair and determines how money is handled, the investments and so on. At the Committee stage, I would want the Government side to ensure that this protection is given to the contributors, who are employees of the county governments. As I draw to a conclusion, I want this Senate to move on a path that veers away from what we have seen in the past. Today, the majority of the Kenya Railways Corporation (KRC) retirees--- One of my uncles worked for the KRC and died without ever getting his pension after ... view
• 5 Dec 2018 in Senate: Government Ministries should be housed in buildings owned by pensioners and then they generate money, so that people earn some money decently. Madam Temporary Speaker, retirement in this country means you are leaping from the known to the unknown and eventual death. You have lived in Nairobi all your life working--- view
• 5 Dec 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, kindly give me a minute so that I finish this point. You have lived in Nairobi all your life working and you retire, then it dawns on you that you are living in a railways house and you are told that you have to vacate, because somebody else must occupy it. You left your home 40 years ago to come and work for railways. If there was a proper pension scheme, you can leave railways because you have no affinity with the village where you come from, you can rent a property in Nairobi and live until ... view
• 4 Dec 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Petition is very important. I had mentioned that my distinguished colleague from Kisumu, the MP, brought this Petition to the Senate on 28th August, 2018. He has been waiting for this Petition to be brought to the Floor until he started lamentations, protestations and visiting offices, which is not right. He asked me to bring this to the attention of the Chair. view
• 4 Dec 2018 in Senate: Secondly, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Committee that will look at this Petition must address a very important point that you have read out from that Petition: That a dumpsite in Kajulu has been put on the flight path where aircraft landing at Kisumu International Airport pass. There are myriads of examples the world over where such dangerously located dumpsites attract birds that eventually cause accidents by flying into the engines of the aircrafts. So, if there was no other reason to deal with this dumpsite, that is enough reason for the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA), the national Government ... view
• 4 Dec 2018 in Senate: You are right, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 4 Dec 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. As you give direction on this matter, I recall that in the last Parliament where we were together with you, some Petitions lasted for more than six months and some a year. I request the Chair to give direction that the 60 days rule is not abstract. On the 60th day of the committal of a Petition, if the Chair of Committee where the Petition has been committed is not ready, he or she must seek extension from the House and bring a progress report so that the Chair can give ... view
