    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare regarding the non-remittance of death and disability benefits to public service employees in compliance with Section 6(4) and Section 30 of the Public Service Superannuation Scheme (PSSS) Act of 2012. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) State whether the PSSS Board of Trustees has undertaken an audit and documented all death and disability claims from institutions governed by the PSSS Act, 2012 that have not been settled from 2021 to date; (2) Provide details on whether the nominated beneficiaries or executors or rightful owners have received the death in service or disability benefits in line with the Act; (3) State when the next of kin of the 4,094 teachers - and I am happy that Sen. Munyi Mundigi has raised a concern about teachers - that died since 2016 and the over 30,000 recorded occupational illnesses and injuries would be paid their benefits; (4) Provide details on when further disciplined services like the National Police Services (NPS) and Kenya Prisons will be fully compensated noting that there exists over 1,000 outstanding death and disability claims pertaining to a period from 2016-2018; (5) Give details on why the NPS and the Kenya Prison Service were provided with only one-year benefits by the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) as the insurer, as opposed to five years’ life and death disability benefits as per the PSSS Act; (6) State whether the Judiciary has procured the insurance benefits for their staff in line with the Act;"
