The Cabinet of Ministers has granted policy approval to repeal the Parliamentary Pensions Act No. 1 of 1971, following a decision taken at a recent Cabinet meeting.
The Legal Draftsman has prepared a Bill to abolish the pension entitlements previously granted to Members of Parliament and their spouses.
The Attorney General has also provided clearance for the draft.
Accordingly, the proposal presented by the Minister of Justice and National Integration to publish the Bill in the Government Gazette and submit it to Parliament for approval has received the Cabinet’s endorsement.
