Dennis Itumbi Starts Initiative To Stop Uhuru, Raila And Kalonzo Pension Benefits

Digital strategist Dennis Itumbi has launched an initiative that seeks to block former president Uhuru Kenyatta, Azimio la Umoja leader Raila Odinga and Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka from receiving their pension benefits.

 

Itumbi shared a link to the initiative dubbed 'babatumechoka' , which is prompted by the trio's continued engagement in destructive politics, incitement and violence.

For one to make a submission they will require to key in their details including their ID Number, Name, Phone number, County, Constituency and Ward names before appending their signature and submitting.

Mr. Odinga has been receiving monthly pensions since he retired as a Prime Minister in 2012 and his counterpart Kalonzo retired as Vice President in 2013.

According to the stipulations made in the Presidential Retirement Benefits Act (2003), a retired president is entitled to receive a lump sum retirement package which is calculated as a sum equal to one year’s salary for each term served as President. 

Mr. Kenyatta served for 10 years meaning he received about Ksh.34.56 million.

In the package, President Kenyatta is entitled to be receiving a total of Ksh.1.15 million in monthly pension.

He would also receive monthly entertainment and fuel allowance at the rate of Ksh.216,000 each and a house allowance at the rate of Ksh.331,200 per month.

Also as enshrined in the Retirement Benefits Act 2015, a retired Prime Minister and VP are entitled to a monthly pension equal to 80% of the monthly salary of the entitled person's last monthly salary while in office.
