Government Issues Deadline For Pension Registration
All pensioners have until February 2025 to ensure that they register for the new pensioners’ self-registration portal.
National Treasury Principal Secretary Chris Kiptoo highlighted that any pensioners who will not have registered for the new system by the deadline will face suspension from the payroll.
The government has since launched a new system which is part of a new end-to-end enterprise resource planning system. The new system will address issues of fraud among other things.
Speaking during the launch of the new e-registering portal the Director of Pensions at the National Treasury Alfred Kagika revealed that the government aims to hit the goal of complete transition to the system by March 2025.
The new e-registration portal is a module of an overall proposed e-pension system and is targeting pensioners who have been registering challenges such as loss of records and incorrect personal balances.
According to the government, The new system is designed to expedite the payment process and reduce congestion in pension offices. Pensioners will receive payment alerts from anywhere, provided they are registered in the system.
