NAIROBI, Kenya, Oct 5 – President William Ruto has ordered a major overhaul of retirement benefit processing, directing the agencies responsible for public servants’ pensions to ensure retirees receive their dues within 10 days of leaving service.
Ruto said the directive was intended to end the prolonged delays that have for years forced retired public servants to make repeated trips to government offices in pursuit of their pension payments.
Speaking during the World Teachers’ Day celebrations at Kasarani in Nairobi on Monday, the President said the new turnaround time would initially be implemented through reforms targeting teachers before being extended across the wider public service.
