    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true that this House passed a law on payment of pensions. However, the issue at hand is not that we do not have a law. The problem is the practicability of processing the pensions claims. It just takes too long. The Pensions Department receives about 1,000 new claims every month, as people retire. Now, if we do not have an effective system of capturing those claims, we may end up sending the monies to different places or in different accounts. Another problem we have is that the claimants are supposed to submit some information to the Pensions Department, through their parent Ministries. Until we re-structure this process, the processing of pension claims will continue to take long because the relevant information takes long to reach the Pensions Department. We are aware of the challenge. We are doing what we can to ensure that pensioners receive their dues in the least time possible."
