• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Motion. view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: I congratulate hon. Pesa for bringing this Motion to the House. We know that during the last Parliament, this House passed a Bill relating to pension payments. We legislated to the effect that once one has retired from service, the pension due to that particular individual has to be released within a month. That is what we passed in this House. It was not passed in any other parliament but in the Parliament of Kenya. view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was saying that sometime back, this House passed a law which told the Government that once someone has retired, that person’s pension dues are to be released within a month. Any delay attracts interest. view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you can see where I am speaking from. I am speaking from the Back Bench, in my capacity as the Member of Parliament for Muhoroni. I am not speaking from the Dispatch Box. view

They served, ... view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the court gave its ruling, directing the Government to pay yet there is no response from the Government. What is the difference from what we call “impunity” in this case? This is impunity. Why is the Government doing it? We have to respect teachers’ rights. Let us pay their dues. Let anybody else who retires from Government service be paid his or her dues. view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you. view
