"content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a)The Government received complaints from the former ex-EAC employees on this matter. For this reason, the Government constituted a joint taskforce to enquire into the issue. The taskforce noted the subject matter of the alleged accrued pensions of the employees had been determined and finalized by the High Court of Kenya. The taskforce further observed that the former ex-EAC employees suffered disturbances and disruption of career expectations occasioned by the sudden dissolution of the Community. On this basis, a discretionary ex-gratia compensation payment was recommended. (b)Based on the joint taskforce recommendations and consultations with the Treasury, the Ministry will be seeking a Cabinet decision on the matter. (c)The Office of the Attorney-General was consulted on the provident fund refunds and other terminal dues of employees of the East African Airways Corporation and the liquidators records availed indicate that they were duly paid."
