    "content": "Thank you hon. Deputy Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order 44(2)(c), I wish to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare regarding continued delay in payment of National Social Security Fund (NSSF) benefits to retirees. Many retirees upon attaining 60 years of age are allowed to receive the funds, but they are finding it difficult to access their hard earned NSSF savings. Most have had to spend a lot of money in back and forth travel to NSSF Headquarters in Nairobi and regional offices to pursue their payments. In the Statement, the Chairperson should inquire into and report on one, reasons for continued delays in processing money for retirees even after NSSF rebranded itself and introduced its services for registration, payments and general management and two, why the process of payment of NSSF benefits for retirees was moved from NSSF regional offices to the National office situated in Nairobi. Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker."
