"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Cabinet Secretary, National Treasury and Economic Planning the following Question. (a) What immediate measures are being implemented by the Government to address the extensive delays in processing pension claims for retired civil servants of various levels? Could the Cabinet Secretary provide a timeline for full digitization of pension records and transition to an end-to-end Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system for a more streamlined process? (b) How is the Ministry addressing the pervasive corruption and bribery within the Pension Department, including claims of pension payment to non-existent or ghost pensioners? (c) What is being done to ensure that pension funds, which have persistently faced significant carryovers due to underfunding and liquidity challenges, are prioritized and allocated adequate funding in future budgets? (d) Could the Cabinet Secretary explain any proposed regulatory reforms aimed at harmonizing outdated pension laws with contemporary digital financial management practices? Mr. Speaker, Sir, these questions are borne out of the delays in payment to pensioners."
