    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Delays in processing of retirement benefits are caused by many factors. Those factors include the retiree not completing the requisite pension forms on time, the parent Ministry or the Teachers Service Commission failing to prepare the pension claim documents or failing to attach all the relevant supporting documents to the Pensions Department. It takes an average of 38 days to process a fully documented claim at the Pensions Department. (b) The Ministry of Finance has procured a modern Pensions Management Information System (PMIS) whose installation is ongoing and is expected to be fully operational by August, 2009. Subsequently, the period it takes to process the pension claims will be reduced from the current 38 days to 20 days by June, 2010. The Pensions Department contacts Ministries and Departments whose submissions have errors and also carries out on-the-job training for the officers concerned."
