    "content": " The National Treasury through its Circular No.13 of 2023, directed all State corporations to budget and honour their staff pension obligations, including the arrears. It is unfortunate that the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation has continued to contravene the said directive. The inordinate delay in remittance of the pension to the pension scheme has caused anguish and financial distress to the affected pensioners. It is against this backdrop that I seek a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Social Protection on the following: 1. Why has the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation Staff Retirement Benefit Scheme not transitioned from defined benefit scheme to defined contributory scheme as per the Directive of the National Treasury. 2. Explain the reasons for non-remittance of pension dues from both the employer and employees deducted by the employer to the pension scheme. 3. What action is being taken to remedy the situation so that the affected pensioners receive their dues. Thank you."
