Teachers, police blocked from early pension access in reforms
Recruits in a parade during a past pass-out ceremony at Kenya Police College Kiganjo. The government wants to restrict police and teachers' early access to retirement benefits.
Civil servants, including tutors employed by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), police officers, and employees of the National Youth Service (NYS), will no longer have unrestricted early access to their retirement benefits as the State moves to align withdrawal rules with the rest of the civil servants.
The government, through National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah, has proposed amendments the Public Service Superannuation Scheme Act to align it with regulations set out in the Retirement Benefits Act.
