Facts
The Plaintiff, Joyce Odhiambo Oduor, worked with the Standard Chartered Bank from 21st October 1969 and retired voluntarily on 7th November 1995. She claims underpaid pension dues for the period from 21st October 1969 to 2nd July 1979.
Issues
- Provisions of the Standard Bank of Kenya Pension Fund Trust Deed governing the Plaintiff's entitlement to pension.
- When the Plaintiff became entitled to pension under the pension scheme.
