Members of the County Assemblies across the country have a reason to smile after President William Ruto promised them a pension scheme that will see them pocket millions of shillings after exiting from office.

The President, who spoke on Friday at Bomas of Kenya during the UDA National Governing Council meeting, said the MCAs will now be eligible to benefit from the scheme just like the MPs in both the Senate and the National Assembly.
