Bothered by reports of public servants wasting away their lives after retirement, the Government has decided to take a deliberate effort to rescue employees exiting service.
Public Service Superannuation Scheme (PSSS) through Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has therefore organized a sensitization programme for teachers on the saving scheme during this school holiday.
This is revealed in a circular dated April 20, 2023 signed by the Commission’s Director in charge of Human Resource Management and Development (HRM & D) Dr. Julius Olayo, on behalf of the TSC Secretary and Chief Executive Officer Dr. Nancy Macharia, addressed to all Regional and County Directors.
The sensitization programme will basically target teachers who have turned 45 years of age as at 2021 and those employed thereafter who are members of the scheme which will commence from April 24, 2023 and will end on May 5, 2023.
All TSC Regional and County Directors have now been instructed to identify the venues in a central place where sensitization will be conducted and further mobilize the said teachers through the Sub-County Directors and Curriculum Support Officers (CSOs); and further ensure that every zone sends five primary and five secondary school teachers.
They have further been instructed to ensure that all the County and Sub-County Human Resource Officers also attend the sensitization programme.
The scheme which became operational on January 1, 2021 was established mainly to provide retirement benefits to civil servants, teachers and disciplined service personnel; and is managed by Board of Trustees with support of a full time secretariat and Service Providers.
