A recent actuarial report indicates that more than half of current Kenyan Members of Parliament will likely not be re-elected in the next parliamentary cycle. Speaker of the National Assembly Moses Wetang’ula urged lawmakers to pass a Bill establishing a post-retirement medical scheme for MPs, citing the high attrition rate.

• More than 56 percent of MPs are predicted not to return to Parliament, according to an actuarial report.
• Speaker Moses Wetang’ula is advocating for the passage of the Parliamentary Pensions (Amendment) Bill, 2023.
• The Bill, sponsored by MP Makali Mulu, seeks to grant the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) the authority to create a voluntary post-retirement medical scheme for MPs, with the government matching contributions.
