Government Lists Kenyans Who Will Be Removed from Payroll If They Don’t Register by Next Week
The Kenyan government, through the National Treasury, has issued a new update that affects pensioners. It has reopened the pensioner self-registration portal for those who were not able to register during the earlier registration period.
In an official statement, the Pensions Department under the Ministry of Treasury explained that this final extension was made for pensioners who encountered difficulties while trying to register during the initial three-month period. This final window of registration will remain open until May 10, 2025.
“Following our commitment to fairness and in response to the genuine concerns raised by some pensioners, we have decided to reopen the self-registration portal one last time. The portal will remain accessible until May 10, 2025,” read a section of the notice.
The Ministry added that this move was aimed at ensuring that those who were unable to complete the registration process earlier are not left out unfairly.
However, the government also warned that pensioners who fail to register and validate their information before the new deadline will be removed from the government payroll and will no longer receive their pension payments.
The Treasury emphasized, “Do not delay. Ensure you register before May 10, 2025, to continue receiving your pension. Those who miss this deadline risk being suspended from the payroll.”
How to Register
The government has provided two ways for pensioners to complete the registration process — either online or through in-person assistance.
Online Registration:
- Go to the e-Citizen Portal using a smartphone, computer, or tablet.
- Log in using your personal credentials.
- Navigate to the Pensions Department section under the National Treasury.
- Follow the detailed steps provided on the portal to complete your registration.
In-Person Registration:
For those who experience technical difficulties or lack access to the internet, in-person support is available. Pensioners can:
- Visit any Huduma Centre across the country.
- Go directly to the Treasury Pensions Department office.
- Seek help from a designated registration agent.
This ongoing exercise began in December, when the Ministry called on all pensioners and their dependents to update their information with the Pensions Department.
The Director of Pensions, Alfred Kagika, had earlier explained that the registration was part of a broader plan to modernize the pension system.
He said the exercise is in line with global standards, where digital solutions are being used to improve how services are delivered to retired government workers.
By registering through the e-Pensions Management Information System (e-PMIS), pensioners will benefit from quicker and more efficient access to services, including faster processing of their payments and easier communication with the department.
This registration initiative is critical for ensuring that pension records are up-to-date and that benefits are paid to the right people without delays.
