The department, through its officers deployed to the Huduma centres, has been sensitizing the public on pension matters, while rendering pension services through the Huduma Mashinani outreach programmes. This initiative ensures that the pension services can be accessed by retirees at the grassroots level countrywide. In conclusion, the pensions department has continuously revamped its operations through the adoption of a results-based management approach to ensure timely, efficient, and effective payment for pensions to all retirees. In the Financial Year 2023/2024, the Pensions Department allocated Kshs187.5 billion in the Revised Budget to pensioners to fund gratuitous payroll and dependent pensions to the public. The disbursed amount as of 30th June, 2024 was Kshs148.9 billion where gratuities or lump-sum benefits were Kshs43 billion, and pension as payroll was Kshs73.6 billion with a biannual monthly increase of 3 per cent for pensioners. Lastly, a new scheme, which is the superannuation scheme contribution was Kshs31.6 billion."
