Kenya is still forking out about Sh2 million every month to pay 1,500 pensioners in Britain for the services they rendered to the colonial government, almost six decades after independence.

At the same time, the government will from the end of this month pay all the 277,000 public servants a three per cent increment in their monthly pensions.
