Pension provision for Kenya's county workers hangs in the balance as many counties fail to remit pension contributions to CPF Financial Services Ltd. The shortfall, revealed by CPF/LapTrust's MD Mr. Hosea Kili during a Senate Committee on Public Investment and Special Funds meeting led by Vihiga Senator Godfrey Osotsi, stands at a staggering Kshs 36,284,729,685 as of March 2023. 

The County Public Accounts Committee (CPAC) has directed Kisii Governor Simba Arati to take urgent steps and align the county’s Human Resource function to his vision.

The Committee’s chairman Moses Kajwang’ said that there is serious misalignment between the vision of the governor and those of the directorate of human resources, which he observed has rendered the county dysfunctional in terms of personnel.

Senator Kajwang issued the directive when the governor appeared before the Committee to discuss the Human resource establishment of the county on Monday.

The Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning has commenced week-long public hearings on the Finance Bill, 2023. The Bill has a timeline of approval of 30th June to coincide with the enactment of the Appropriation Law, 2023.

The National Assembly Public Investments Committee on Commercial Affairs and Energy has interrogated the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) on recent re-advertisement of a Contract that is subject to an ongoing probe.

Under the leadership of Chairperson Hon. David Pkosing, Members asked KRA to explain why it had put out a notice calling for expression of interest on a contract which is subject of an audit query before the Committee.
