"content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Mr. Chrisantus Peter Wesonga had no operational bank account and the tax clearance certificate from the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) which are mandatory requirements. The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has thus been unable to effectively process his retirement benefits. Accordingly, Mr. Wesonga has been directed to obtain the tax clearance certificate to enable the TSC to process the retirement dues and forward the same to the Treasury for payment. (b) The salaries for July, 2007 to April, 2008 were paid through his bank account with the Kenya Commercial Bank, Mumias Branch. However, the salaries were returned to the TSC due to the closure of the account. Nevertheless, he later opened a new bank account No.5020011140250 with Kakamega Teachers Sacco from which the outstanding salaries have been processed and paid. (c) The following measures have been put in place to ensure TSC retireesâ dues are paid promptly. Automation of GPU 178 to speed up the processing of claims; holding of meetings with the KRA to speed up the processing of Tax Clearance Certificates; establishment of an internal monitoring and evaluation team to assist in fast tracking of pension claims; and, the introduction of Integrated Payroll Personnel Data System will address the problem of documentation to a great extent."
