National Treasury to Conduct Headcount of all Kenyan Pensioners Living in the Diaspora, Embassy Announces
The National Treasury - Pensions Department in consultation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is working out modalities for a headcount of all pensioners living in the Diaspora. This has been announcement in a memo by the Kenyan Embassy in Washington, DC, dated April 24th, 2019.
“We wish to inform Kenyans in USA and Mexico that the National Treasury, Pensions Department in consultation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is working out modalities for the headcount of pensioners in the Diaspora and the Mission will communicate the same in due course,” reads the memo from the Embassy.
This is part of a headcount and cleansing exercise that the Pensions Department under the National Treasury has been going on at Huduma Centers in Kenya since February 11th, adds the Embassy.

More information on the exercise for Kenyans living in the United States and Mexico will be communicated by the Embassy soon.

Ha ha ha ha haa, ooh! Walianza na hudumu namba, kisha kuwahesabu watu, sasa wanaongea kuhusu wanawalenga walio staafu Marekani na Mexico, ili wanyemelee donge wanazozipokea. Lengo haswa ya huduma namba, kama akili yangu kidogo inavyonusa nusia, ni kujua idadi ya Wakenya ambao miaka nenda miaka rudi, hawajawahi kuripa kodi. Huduma namba pia itaiwezesha serikali kutambua ajira za wananchi wake, ili kuwaingiza ndani ya neti walipa kodi wengi iwezekanavyo. Na ni huduma namba hii hii ambayo vidole vya serikali vikigonga gonga herufi katika kifurishi, itanyesha kwa mfano MjuAji ana tu ploti kwetu Kindu Bay, nyumba kule Runda, Kiambu, takriban dola elfu kumi na tatu katika benki ya Equity, gari la aina ya probox inayo beba matatu kule Nyaribari Machache, na mengineo. Mbinu hizi hizi ndizo wanazokusudia kuzitumia kuwahesabu Wakenya waishio ughaibuni kwa minajiri ya kumumujya kisicho chao. Serikali ya Uhuru imekopa matrillioni ya pesa lakini waliolipa kodi hawakufika hata millioni tatu. Kwanini? Nani atalipa ushuru kisha jasho yake iibiwe na watu ambao karibu mwaka mmoja baadaye, Wakenya wanazungushwa zungushwa mviringo mviringo? Idara ya kukusanya ushuru ni kama imepewa notisi ya kufanya juu chini kuhakikisha kwamba madeni ya China ambayo imetoboa mawingo imelipwa wapende wasipende. Ubalozi wa Kenya kule Washington DC yapaswa kuieleza serikali kwamba kujipenyeza katika nchi hii ya Marekani kunyemelea chochote, ni sharti wafuate sheria na kanuni zilizowekwa hapa. Kwangu mimi hawakunisaidia kulipa nauli ya ndege kuja hapa wala kunitumia pesa za ziada kunisomesha wakati mkora Moi alipokuwa anaongoza. Hii ni jjia nyijgine ya wabunge nguruwe kuja hapa kurandaranda kuhu wakijitakia makuu. Kwa hivyo ng'o waniteme, ng'o wanikome, ng'o hawanipati, ng'o hawapati chochote na ng'o sirudi Kenya hadi madeni ya China yalipwe. Tena ubalozi uishauri serikali ya Uhuru kwamba hapa tunastaafu ukiwa na miaka 75, wakati mwili umechapwa kihohe hohe, akili zinakwambia urudi nyuma ukienda mbele, na mwili ni mzoga uliofariki ukiwa na miaka 65. Washindwe kabisa.
What budgetary allocation purposes? Those pensioners in the US don't depend on the boy in statehouse and his corrupt and drunk administration. Pombe tu! The only thing he knows is how to borrow and steal.
The so called pensioners living in US are earning more than regular cvil servants in Kenya , most of them end up babysitting our children get paid cash , no taxes to American government paid, they get sick . Simply rush to the county hospital for free treatment and when they die there is free casket and free one way flight back home ( our harambees pays everything)some even end up in nursing home for free sorry I forgot, their retirement benefits in Kenya still keep loaded in their bank accounts

Please someone tell me I am not losing it. Somebody somewhere has nothing better to do. Could you articulate reason why you need the data? Trust me, you are sounding crazier and more nutty by the day.
Just spare us some of your stupid and crazy ideas. You should be satisfied with our remittances and leave it at that.
IDIOTS!
IDIOTS
Why not focus on the bad guys trying to form another multi-million shilling scam....or what we have heard in the recent past is not going to recur never again in this Uhuruto admin?
What services does the Kenya government provide to it's citizens in the diaspora? The reason that Kenyans left the country in the first is economic due to mismanagement of resources by our leaders and corruption. That corruption today is at its pick. The government does not help people in the diaspora. In order to save money, this government should close all the Kenyan embassies and leave only a part-time student to issue visas when necessary. This will provide money for the Kenyans who are going hungry. Leave the Kenyans in the diaspora alone and first put your house in order.
it beats all reasons to start counting pensioners . did they learn we are depending on the kes 2,000 state pension . since this is paid in cash from the bank tellers we are goign to fly from usa to catch a 20 USD. first we need this government stop counting of diaspora remittance we send freely for our own private use and this keeps the kes floating else we would be like argentina but we are heading there our leaders are paving the way thanks to them
What happens when i miss the head count unintentionally
