The process and the law on retirement of state officers scheme as defined in the constitution is illegal. In 2010, a Bill was introduced in parliament trying to pass a retirement bill for President, MPs and other state officers. He rejected sections that would have favoured or benefited MPs and other state officers. However, President Uhuru Kenyatta implemented the Kibaki and former President Daniel Moi pension perks using the same law in 2013. In 2016 Cord (Raila's political coalition) went to court to challenge the memo and the High Court, in 2016, declared the amendment to the state officers retirement scheme unconstitutional, discriminatory, vague, uncertain and ambiguous.
