Patient pensioners

July 21, 2021

Earlier this year, the government announced a 25 percent increase in salaries of federal government employees after they took to the streets and demanded an increment. In the 2021-2022, the government announced an addition increase of 10 percent for federal government employees, which means they now enjoy a 35 percent increase in their salaries. On the other hand, pensioners who are the country’s senior citizens and need more financial supported, have been badly treated. They have been given only 10 percent increase. At this old age, these people deserve the special attention of the state.
