• 6 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: (a) I am not aware that the Pensions Department has not been remitting pensions to many beneficiaries of the deceased pensioners as required by law. What I am aware of is that all cases submitted to the department and are fully supported are processed as and when they are received and payments released to respective payees. view
• 6 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: (b) Death gratuity amounting to Kshs66,310 due to the beneficiaries of the late Micah Akoko, who died on 2nd December 1992, was processed and paid to the Public Trustee, Kisumu, in November, 1997. Dependant pensions of Kshs28,191 to each of the two widows of the deceased was also processed and paid to them in arrears in May and November, 1997. view
• 6 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: (c) In view of “a” and “b” above “c,” therefore, does not arise. view
• 6 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 6 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true that we submitted the money to the Public Trustee in Kisumu. It is also true that the two widows did not receive that money. Investigations were instituted and, up to now, we do not have an official report from the CID indicating who the beneficiary is. So, our role now is to find out how the Ministry of Finance and the Public Trustee’s office can get those widows out of their problems by paying them their monies while investigations are going on, to establish who actually defrauded the Government of the money. view
• 6 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I read in my answer, the amount of money that was remitted to the Public Trustee in Kisumu was Kshs66,000. There was money which was paid to them in arrears, which was supposed to be monthly repayment totalling to Kshs28,000. They were paid in two installments of Kshs15,580 each on 10th March, 1997. Then the balance of Kshs9,840.35 was paid in November, 1997. They continued to receive their monthly payment until the end of the five-year requirement. view
• 6 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have said that, that is exactly what we are intending to do. view
• 6 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have said that we are sorting it out between us and the office of the Public Trustee. We shall endeavour to pay it as soon as possible. view
