    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity to request for a Statement on payment of retirement benefits for former employees of the Housing Finance Corporation of Kenya (HFCK). I rise, pursuant to Standing Order No. 53(1), to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget regarding the underpayment of retirement benefits to former employees of the Housing Finance Corporation of Kenya (HFCK). In the Statement, the Committee should - (1) Confirm if the Housing Finance Corporation of Kenya is cognizant of instances where certain retrenched employees received less compensation than what they were entitled to from the HFCK trustee pension scheme; (2) Present the methodology employed in computing benefits for retrenched and former workers of the HFCK, from the year 2000 to 2010, clearly outlining the factors such as job group and years of service taken into account; (3) Identify any disparities in payments, if any, among individuals within the same job group; and (4) Specify the anticipated timeline for settling the outstanding balance for employees who received insufficient compensation. I thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker."
