    "content": "I think we need to do radical surgery to this department and ensure that every Kenyan who retires receives their pension the next month. First of all, those retiring are known one year before retirement and informed. There should be no reason why pension should not be paid immediately after retirement. In the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, I was discussing with Members on pensions payment and some said that retirees should get their pension after three months. I said it should be immediate because the retirement age of employees is known. Concerning teachers, I have taken time to speak with the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) officials in my constituency. What they proposed, which I think needs to be supported, is that pension of teachers should be managed by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) because they are the employers. Even the pension for Parliament should be managed by the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) so that all pensioners get their dues on time. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
