Kenyan state agencies are reportedly failing to remit statutory deductions and pension contributions, jeopardizing the financial security of workers upon retirement. The total arrears for unremitted pension, Sacco deductions, and staff benefits by these agencies have significantly increased.

• The total arrears for unremitted pension, Sacco deductions, and staff benefits by state agencies rose by Sh19.01 billion to reach Sh56.965 billion.
• This issue involves multiple Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs).
• Controller of Budget Margaret Nyakang'o has warned of the detrimental impact on staff morale and productivity, citing Sh9.21 billion in unremitted Sacco deductions alone.
