MPs propose changes to pension package to benefit one-term legislators

Kenyans may have to dig deeper into their pockets to finance members of parliament’s pensions if a bill before the house becomes law. The parliamentary pensions amendment bill, sponsored by Kitui Central MP Makali Mulu, seeks to give one-term lawmakers more time to repay pensions they had already collected, while protecting two-term MPs who lose their seats from losing their monthly pension if they make a comeback.
