President William Ruto has ordered the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) to ensure retirement benefits for public workers are paid within 10 days of their retirement, as announced during the World Teachers’ Day celebrations in Nairobi on Monday, October 5, 2026. This directive aims to streamline the processing of retirement benefits and eliminate the delays that have previously forced retirees to navigate multiple government offices to claim their entitlements.
The reform is part of a broader effort to digitize public services and reduce bureaucratic processes, with the new Pension Management Information System expected to significantly speed up pension payments for retiring teachers and other public servants.
