Paying Pensions to Retire Government Workers
Civil servants and political appointees are government workers or public officers. While a civil servant will work for upward 35-years before retiring, a politician serves only 4-years at a time if he is not re-elected.
While governors are not willing to pay retirement benefits f pension entitlements, special gratuity, and arrears, how come a governor wants to pay politicians serving for only four years a life pension?
The mind beats the imagination. Your thoughts on the challenge?
