I, therefore, wish to convey to the House that my office has received a petition regarding non-payment of pension benefits to a former employee of the Armed Forces who retired in 1992. The petition, signed by one Capt. J.N. Wafubwa, is praying that Parliament:- (i) reviews the Kenya Defence Forces Act, 2012 to re-introduce a Pensions Appeals Tribunal to ensure pension matters are resolved amicably; and, (ii) compels the Defence Council to reassess the petitioner’s pension benefits and pay him what is due to him. Hon. Members, this petition shall stand committed to the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations for consideration. The Committee is requested to consider the petition and report its findings in accordance with Standing Order No.227 (2). Thank you. Hon. Members, I will suspend the other Communication until a few more Members have come into the Chamber because of its import. Next Order!"
