• 1 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I withdraw the words "busybodies". There are many busybodies. view
• 1 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Yes, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 1 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I withdraw the words "busybodies" and "civil societies". As I said, my intention was not to malign civil societies. view
• 1 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was saying I do not like the clause which proposes that any person who wishes to have a commissioner removed, can apply for that commissioner's removal. As I said, we have people, in this country, who do not seem to have much to do, and who always apply for people to be removed from office. This is the same clause we had in the Bomas Draft Constitution, which says that any person can apply for the removal of a Member of Parliament. Subsequently, the National Convention at the Bomas of Kenya, in its own wisdom, ... view
• 1 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I take great exception to the remarks made by hon. Ruto. We have been allowed the required number of minutes and I have not spoken a second longer than the time I was allocated. Could he withdraw July 1, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1513 for imputing an improper motive on me? view
• 26 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that the beneficiaries of Mr. Mwovi Nyamai, deceased, a former employee of the City Council of Nairobi, Personal No.U02-72087, have not been paid his terminal dues. (b) The City Council of Nairobi prepared a Provident Fund Cheque No.2355 amounting to Kshs120,321.75, but could it not be released to the District Commissioner, Kitui, due to lack of funds in the Provident Fund Account. (c) Through my intervention, the Council has written a cheque No.003614 amounting to Kshs120,322 to the District Commissioner, Kitui, for the beneficiaries of the deceased. ... view
• 26 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would be very glad to give him a copy of the cheque. I will give him the copy after this. On behalf of Nairobi City Council, I must really apologise. It is sad when employees are not paid their dues when they retire and they pass away, only for the beneficiaries also not to be paid in good time. I know there must be several similar cases. We have instructed the City Council of Nairobi to immediately pay all the beneficiaries of deceased persons. Secondly, they should pay all the retirees who are sick because ... view
• 26 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is true what hon. Bahari has said that all Provident Funds must be funded to the extent of their full liabilities. When the local authorities were authorised to retrench their members of staff, the retrenched officers had to be paid. This was not in line with the expected payment under the Provident Fund. All the local authorities have been instructed to pay all the dues to the Provident Fund promptly. In addition, they have been instructed to pay the other statutory dues, for example, the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) and the Income Tax. They ... view
• 26 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I must apologise that, unfortunately, the Provident Fund rules do not provide for the payment of interest. However, the point is that even the issue of interest should not arise. Employees must be paid their dues when they retire. That is what the law says. We have instructed all the local authorities, henceforth, to pay retirees or those who are 1440 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES June 26, 2008 retrenched, their full terminal dues before they leave office. view
• 26 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am sorry, the hon. Member did not understand what I said. I think he did not even understand the question that was asked. The interest that we are talking about is after somebody has retired. But, in between, there is obviously the payment of interest. I am saying that once an employee has retired and his dues have been calculated to a certain amount, then no interest accrues. But before then, interest accrues. The amount of money a retiree is paid is inclusive of interest for very many years. view
