The UNC is urging the independent senators to vote with the government in June 30’s debate in the Senate on the Prime Minister’s Pension (Amendment) Bill 2025.

The bill seeks to limit a prime minister's pension entitlements and introduces a tier system.

Speaking during a media conference on June 29 at the party’s headquarters on Mulchan Seuchan Road, Chaguanas, UNC PRO Dr Kirk Meighoo said the bill, which will be debated in the Senate on June 30, will need a three-fifths majority to pass in both houses of Parliament, but would need four independent senators to vote with the government.
