A new law, the Judges’ Retirement Benefits Bill, has been established in Kenya to enhance retirement benefits for judges, ensuring greater financial security and preserving their dignity after service.

• The bill introduces a structured, contributory scheme managed by a Board of Trustees, with judges contributing 7.5% and the Government contributing 15% of basic salary for future appointees.
• Key benefits include enhanced pensions, medical cover, diplomatic passports, and access to government airport lounges.
• The law also extends specified post-retirement benefits to judges who retired after the Constitution's promulgation but before the Act's commencement, ensuring equitable treatment.
