• 5 Dec 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I did not know that this Statement had been raised before but this does show that we have not had a solution and we would not want this to continue. I do agree with Sen.

I used to be the Speaker of Nakuru County Assembly and have seen first-hand the very unhealthy competition between LAPFUND and LAPTRUST. Therefore, I believe that it is time ... view
• 5 Dec 2018 in Senate: since 2013, about Kshs12 billion has not been submitted. That is of real concern. When you are an employee and look at your pay slips and see deductions made, so you sleep soundly knowing that when you retire you will be well taken care off. Therefore, if that money is not remitted, there will be a crisis when that person retires. It will mean that, that person has no pension to draw. We cannot, as country, allow that to happen.
