Parliament debates on pension bill amendement

Yesterday, parliamentarians debated on how the bill that governs the age at which  workers can get the pension at can be amended. Deputies  are assessing whether another type of pension can be enforced as to complete the existing one that stipulates that all workers  should retire at the 55 years old.

Workers from the private sector do not have this kind of insurance, but the ongoing debate assesses how workers from this sector can have legal rights to get insured as well as those ones from the public institutions.

Mukarugema Alphonsine, the leader of the women parliamentarians umbrella stated that this decree will reinforce the motivation of workers  to get insured and increase the number of workers with insurance both from private and public institutions.

The new decree enforces that other institutions will be able to provide pension insurance services  so to help more workers get pension insured.

According to parliamentarians, the new bill will provide workers with more choices about the insurance company to invest their money for their future safe and peaceful retirement.

The law in exercise stipulates that all workers over 55 years can retire and become pensioned but once amended, the bill will leave chances to the workers to choose at which time he/she can retire and in which institution to invest.
