STATE SETS LOWER NEW RETIREMENT AGE FOR TEACHERS & CIVIL SERVANTS

According to the Public Service Commission Act 2017 Section 80(1) (a) and (b) , provisions indicate that a Public Officer shall retire from the service immediately the date he/she attains the mandatory retirement age.

current mandatory retirement age is 60 years for all teachers and civil servants and 65 years for those who are abled differently.

The plan is meant to give young people, more especially those who are jobless an opportunity to be employed in the public service posts.

The reduction of retirement age is also meant to give the young people already in the service chance to grow professionally through the old leaving gaps .

Another advantage of earlier retirement include reduction of burdening budget in a government that is already struggling with finances following heavier pension bills.

According to the National Assembly’s Labour committee,in view of the Public Service Commission (Amendment) Bill, 2023, an amendment to the newly proposed law to reduce the retirement age to 55 will be implemented.

Embakasi Central MP Benjamin Gathiru who moved this motion seeks to to have current Act amended by ensuring that no officer should be serving under acting capacity beyond six months.

Supporting this,the area MP of Kangundo, honourable Fabian Muli announced that incase the committee is to serve the interest of the youth,it therefore calls for immediate amendments to the Bill to reduce the retirement age.
