Hon. John Walukhe (Sirisia) has moved a Bill that proposes to raise the pension due to former Members of Parliament,Β  who served between 1984 and 2001, to a minimum of Kshs. 100, 000.

The Parliamentary Pensions (Amendment) Bill 2023 is in line with one of the recommendations of the Akiwumi Tribunal which was appointed in January 2009, by the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) to review the terms and conditions of service for Members and employees of Parliament.

"Some former Members of Parliament are languishing in poverty and there is a need to take care of their welfare," reads part of the Bill.

The Tribunal submitted its Report to the House on November 12, 2009. One of the recommendations by the Tribunal was that each of the 500 former MPs be paid the equivalent of 1,000 US Dollars (Kshs100,000 using the exchange rate at that time), as living pension with effect from July 1, 2010.
