Vision : A model pension scheme for a comfortable and dignified retirement life
Mission: prudently investing scheme resourses through effective and sustainable governance
Slogan : Your umbrella in retirement
The Kenya Railways Staff Retirement Benefit Scheme (“Scheme”) was established in July 2006. Previously the Kenya Railways Corporation (‘the KRC’) operated an unfunded pension plan which was governed under Regulations made under the Kenya Railways Corporation Act. The establishment of the Scheme was accompanied with a concession to transfer property assets previously held by the Kenya Railways Corporation to form a portfolio of property based assets for the purposes of funding the newly established Scheme.
