Retirement age ya serikali ikikuwa 50 to 55 ikapandishwa tu 60 to cater for intrests of a few individuals…countries that have high retirement ages are those ones that have a low youth population…this tendency in a deny younger people leadership roles In government…just imagine you are almost fifty na uko deputy Director kwa serikali but mdosi yuko 60 na contract take inakuwa extended every year juu yuko na connections so wewe huko juu hutawahi fika you stagnate there and your deputies pia hawawezi panda cheo
@msalame grace, it’s very costly to retire pple at 50yrs, if I had my way, I’d retire them at 65yrs.
You will still have to pay them eventuality and at a much larger cost it’s just postphoning the problem…it’s much easier promoting those who are there and hiring New employees to fill the vacant post of those promoted…in the private sector they can work till what ever age…but kwa serikali its different…in fact private sector will want to let you off as quickly as possible once you are over 55…

If I retire someone at 65 and not 55, I have scaled 10 years of pension.
Kenya Government pension you pay 15% the Government foots the 85% chunk…that’s how it is I Kenya now it’s not like others…now imagine what that 85% could be if you are added 15 more years na salary za hawa bosses sio ati ni pesa ndogo kama other civil servants some earn almost 800k basic …So the more you stay the more the Government will pay you
You know one reason California is running bankrupt is because of retiring it’s civil servants at 50.
I think u should consider life expectancy ya California vs kenya. Na btw hii story ya pensions will be a problem down the road considering wage bill yenyewe ni shida.
