Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, he was asking about some medical payments which were paid through Kenyatta National Hospital. I would want to indicate that, yes, there was an amount of Kshs82,719 which was paid to cover his medical bills. This was not recovered from his salary.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, secondly, to the best of my knowledge, the hon. Member told me that this amount had been received, but there are additional areas where he is claiming over and above this particular amount. I will table here a letter from the Managing Director of LAPTRUST, which indicates the details of this amount and other subsequent amounts that have been paid to the bank account of the member, which again, is indicated in this letter, where the transfers are normally done.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to confirm to the House that, indeed, the pensions body in the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Local Government; that is either the LAP Trust or the LAP Fund have been very prompt in settling dues of ex-Local Government employees. Indeed, these two institutions have been some of the best public pension schemes that have been run in this country. So, unless there is a specific case, I would like to assure this House that members of this scheme normally get their payments without any difficulties whatsoever.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as we speak now, the NCC is no longer in arrears of any dues as pension contributions to the various employees. They have, indeed, reconciled their accounts and have settled whatever is due to the LAP Trust and LAP Fund.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I said very clearly that I will table in this House a letter from the LAP Trust confirming the payments made, cheque number and the date. To the best of my knowledge, the hon. Member admitted to me that Mr. Jonyo admitted to have received this money but there are claims over and above the figure he is raising. So, the dispute is no longer the Kshs599, 000.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not have the details of his account here but that is something that can be extracted. However, I can undertake that over and above the letter, I will be able to produce the bank statement for LAP Trust indicating that the transfer was effected.
