Delay in pension payments for 6,000 retired teachers (1997-2007) despite High Court ruling

9 Apr 2025 Asked by Basil Robert Ngui Cabinet Secretary for Education Oral Deferred

Question

Could the Cabinet Secretary explain why the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) halted or delayed further payments for the retired teachers? I am talking about 6,000 retirees who retired between 1997 and 2007, whose computations remain pending despite the High Court Ruling on October 17, 2019, in Judicial Review Application No.18 of 2012, which clarified their entitlement to pension and gratuity based on negotiated salary increments and published in Gazette Notice No.534 of 1997. The delay persists despite the reported disbursement of Ksh16.08 billion to 22,022 retired teachers by May 2023.
