The Commission on Administrative Justice (CAJ) has called for a comprehensive overhaul of Kenya's pension system to address long-standing delays and injustices affecting retirees.
In a press statement released on Thursday, CAJ directed the Director of the Pensions Department to process and pay all 144 pending claims within 60 days and submit a compliance report.
Failure to do so would result in a notice to show cause as to why the officeholder should not be declared unfit for public office.
The commission further demanded that the Pensions Department prioritize clearing the backlog of pension cases and develop policy guidelines to streamline the processing and payment of benefits.
