There was a recent debate in Parliament about pension issues as they relate to private and public sector employees. The Finance Minister introduced this measure but failed to address the plight of existing pensioners who were paid two-thirds of their salary when they left active employment.
There are instances where pension surpluses exist and which can be used to enhance the pension of inactive workers who face increased food prices like everyone else. I appeal to the Prime Minister to heed this appeal on behalf of so many retirees who have helped to build this nation and introduce legislation so that the trustees of excess pension funds are instructed to provide/invest these for a better life for retirees.
