Machakos Pensioners who are over 100 years and have served the country with diligence and retired with dignity are still receiving their pension from the State Department of Pensions under the National Treasury and Economic Planning 50 years after retiring. Their journey depicts their hard work and dedication to the public service and thereafter enjoying the proceeds of pension that has sustained them through the years and is also an assurance by the government of how it's dedicated in taking care of the aged in society.
The Pensions department visited Kioko Ndolo 104-year-old in Tala Kangundo Sub County of Machakos to celebrate him as one of its oldest pensioners who retired honorably from the Prison service in 1972 in Malindi and has been receiving pensions faithfully for 53 years.
He was also celebrated for being among the first pensioners to embrace modernization by registering on the Pension Self-service Portal that provides better access to personal pension records, enables tackling of payment and doesn't require personal visits to pension offices, proving that even in old age one can adapt to change.
Kioko, who has 15 children and numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren appreciates the government in its responsibility to old pensioners who have been receiving pension for more years than when they had worked in government.
