The bill to abolish pensions for Parliamentarians, has been officially gazetted. The legislation, which was debated and passed by a majority vote on Feb. 17, marks a significant change to the country’s legislative benefits system. According to the gazette notification, any individual currently receiving or entitled to a pension under the Parliamentary Pensions Act No. 01 of 1977 and its subsequent amendments in 1982 and 1990 will cease to receive these payments once the new Act comes into operation.
