• 28 Feb 2024 in Senate: billion represented accumulated penalties. In case of the debt owed to NSSF by the defunct local authorities, out of the Kshs1.8 billion owed, Kshs1.6 billion represented the accumulated penalties. These penalties are provided for in law as I will demonstrate later. This is also evident in the data submitted in the other pension schemes. For instance, out of the KShs57.5 billion, owed to LAPFUND in respect of pensions, Kshs51.7 billion represented accrued interest and penalties. In the case of LAPTRUST and CPF- which are managed together - LAPTRUST was before devolution and CPF was after devolution. However, the LAPTRUST and ... view

• 28 Feb 2024 in Senate: this task force. Then 60 days after their establishment, they are supposed to present a final report to this Senate on how they want to go about resolving this issue. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I think this is the system we have put in place to ensure that county governments will not run away, the Ministry of National Treasury and Economic Planning will do its job and all the stakeholders will be involved.

• 28 Feb 2024 in Senate: Recommendation No.5 is that the National Treasury ensures that a county share of revenue raised by the national Government shall be transferred to the county without undue delay in compliance with Article 219 of the Constitution. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, one of the reasons counties gave for non-remittance of funds, was delayed disbursement of sharable revenue. In that case, we propose that Article 219 be enforced. This is not just a matter of pension, but something that this House must think through. This is because the law is very clear that the money we pass when we pass the disbursement ... view

• 28 Feb 2024 in Senate: contributions as part of the functions of KRA under the Act and Retirement Benefit Authority Act, 1997, to adequately guide and support the collection of pension debt by KRA. The proposed amendments are annexed to this Report. This recommendation is important because this was one of the limitations that the KRA cited. They are unable to recover money at source because of the limitations in the Kenya Revenue Authority Act. We propose amendments to the Kenya Revenue Authority Act so that we give the KRA powers to collect non-remitted contributions included in the Kenya Revenue Authority Act. The last recommendation ... view
