  • The House will vote on the Parliamentary Pensions (Amendment) Bill, 2019, which seeks to impose a minimum pension for lawmakers who served between 1984 and 2001.
  • The MPs are also expected to approve amendments the Parliamentary Pensions Act, 2002 to remove a requirement that only those who served for two terms during the 17 years be entitled to lifelong pension.
  • This means that more than 375 former MPs will see their monthly pension rise to above Sh100,000 from the current low of Sh33,000.

MPs who retired between 1984 and 2001 are set to receive a monthly pension of Sh100,000 for life under revised changes to the National Assembly’s retirement benefits law.
