"content": "Mr. Harrison Buyaka Atei was paid a lump sum amount of Kshs261,131 on 9th October, 2000 and continues to earn a monthly pension of Kshs5,444 and is paid at the National Bank of Kenya in Kisumu City. These payments were made in accordance with the Cabinet decision at its meeting on 18th May, 1998, that is, Cabinet Minute No.4098 of 18th May, 1998 that Judiciary pensions be paid based on the prevailing Civil Service salaries. Mr. Obwocha and Mr. Atei filed court cases against the Government to have the court determine their correct pension benefits. The court ruled that they be paid Kshs845,000 and Kshs639,822, respectively. However, and I am sorry to say this, it has been difficult to implement the court awards as the Director of Pensions acts on delegated authority from the Minister and the Cabinet and could not pay the amount beyond the mandate given by the Cabinet as indicated above."
