"content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply:- (a) One hundred and twenty three teachers from Taita District retired in the last three years; 2006, 2007 and 2008. The pension claims for 105 of them have been processed and forwarded to the Pensions Department for payment, while the remaining 18 cases are being processed. Payments of teachersâ retirement benefits involve two Ministries; the Ministry of Education which processes pensionsâ claims and the Ministry of Finance, which issues the Income Tax clearance certificates and effects the payments. The delays experienced are caused by the following; slow processing due to the involvement of different Government agencies over which my Ministry has no control, some teachers take long to submit the documents required for processing pension claims"
