But court battles have hindered the consolidation of the pension schemes, leaving them running independently. On Wednesday, the two schemes, the Retirement Benefits Authority (RBA) and the Kenya County Government Workers Union (KCGWU) appeared before Senate’s Labour Committee where they expressed willingness to engage in discussions to end the standoff. However, the stakeholders said they would only participate in talks led by a third party and on neutral grounds.
