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.

Housing Principal Secretary, Charles Hinga told the Senate committee on Roads, Transportation and Housing chaired by Kiambu Senator Karungo Thangwa, that the Kenyan Government is committed to build 200 housing units per constituency in the 2023/24 financial year beginning June, 2023.
