The Pa­tri­ot­ic Front has voiced strong sup­port for the re­cent­ly passed Prime Min­is­ter’s Pen­sion Amend­ment Bill but is not hap­py with thou­sands of CEPEP work­ers be­ing placed on the bread­line.

The par­ty, head­ed by Mick­ela Pan­day, sharply crit­i­cised the Gov­ern­ment for what it calls the ne­glect and mis­treat­ment of thou­sands of pub­lic sec­tor and CEPEP work­ers.

In a state­ment yes­ter­day, the par­ty praised Par­lia­ment’s swift ac­tion in re­form­ing pen­sion arrange­ments for prime min­is­ters, call­ing it a nec­es­sary step to­wards end­ing what the par­ty de­scribes as “ex­ces­sive ben­e­fits and gold­en hand­shakes.”
