    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, I would like to thank the Minister for acknowledging the fact that it takes very long before pension dues are processed and telling us the measures the Government is taking to address the issue. However, our people are seriously suffering, especially when one person leaves behind dependants, like a widow and some children in school. The processing of pension in such a case drags on until even the widow dies before November 21, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3785 enjoying her late husband's benefits. I have a case of a person who died in 1996, called Mungai Ikiu Kang'ethe, who was saving with the National Social Security Fund (NSSF). His pension number is C/038528479/44. The dependants applied for survivor's benefits since then without success. Whenever they went to the offices, they were told that the file could not be traced, or given other excuses. What steps is the Minister taking to ensure that a beneficiary like this one is paid within time?"
