Anxiety is mounting as unremitted pension, Sacco deductions, and staff benefits by State agencies have surged by Sh14.33 billion to Sh51.965 billion in the nine months to March. This widespread failure jeopardizes the retirement security of public sector employees.

• The total outstanding arrears for these deductions and benefits reached Sh51.965 billion as of March.
• The Controller of Budget, Margaret Nyakang'o, has warned that this trend compromises employee welfare and productivity.
• A proposed Kenya Revenue Authority (Amendment) Bill, 2026, aims to empower the KRA with stricter measures, including freezing bank accounts and seizing assets, to enforce compliance.
