Judges who reach the retirement age will soon be entitled to improved retirement packages, including enhanced benefits for their spouses and children, if the Judges' Retirement Benefits Bill 2025 is approved by Parliament.
The bill was passed by the Cabinet in April and is now open to public participation until July 11.
The proposed legislation aims to establish a dedicated pension and benefits framework for superior court judges, replacing the outdated provisions of the General Pensions Act.
It introduces a Defined Benefit Scheme for current judges and a defined contribution scheme for those appointed after the law comes into effect.
