I am equally puzzled about another multi-million form of unheard of pension payment. It goes like this:<br />A minister who holds office for two terms was entitled to receive a pension computed at two-thirds of his remuneration even though he had not retired and continue to receive a ministerial salary with one hand, plus the million-dollar pension with his other hand. <br />Fortunately, at the previous GE (when Workers' Party broke the GRC defence), the scam was bodly removed by the salaries committee. Frankly, which organisation, private or public, in any part of the world pays their big guns a salary into their right pocket and an equally hefty pension into the left pocket all at the same time? And one of the ministers who benefitted from this scam was a human resource manager with a MNC before he joined politics!! If the payment was deem a mistake, not a deliberate attempt to take from taxpayers, then when the scheme was thrown out, the recipients should have the decency to refund all they had pocketed through the years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
