National Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi has sought the Senate’s support to extend the mandate of the Multi-Agency Taskforce overseeing the resolution of unremitted pension deductions by county governments.
Speaking before the Senate Committee on County Public Investments and Special Funds, chaired by Migori Senator Eddy Oketch, Mbadi presented a progress update on the implementation of the taskforce’s recommendations.
He told the committee that significant progress has been made in validating county pension liabilities, engaging key stakeholders and developing practical mechanisms to facilitate the settlement of outstanding pension obligations.
Mbadi said the National Treasury remains committed to safeguarding the retirement benefits of public servants by strengthening accountability, improving compliance and advancing sustainable pension reforms.
The Cabinet Secretary requested an extension of the taskforce’s mandate to allow completion of county-level verification, further stakeholder consultations and the development of a comprehensive implementation framework for resolving outstanding pension liabilities.
He emphasized that protecting public servants’ retirement benefits is not only a financial responsibility but also a commitment to dignity, public trust and sound public financial management across all county governments.
