Zambia National Pensioners Association (ZNPA) in Livingstone and Kazungula districts have welcomed the increase of personal emoluments for national leaders in the country.
ZNPA executive secretary Patrick Namakando said the increase is normal and legal
considering the ever rising economic factors in the country.
Mr. Namakando said it was justifiable to review the leaders salaries from time to
time.
He however said it was wrong for policy makers in the country to ignore pensioners
by not increasing their monthly salaries that currently stand at K50, 000 per month.
Mr. Namakando said despite numerous cries from pensioners, lawmakers could only
fully justify their pay rise by ensuring that pensioners were not left behind.
He called on President Mwanawasa to come to their aid.  ÂÂ
Parliament last week approved the motion by Vice President to review leaders’
salaries.ÂÂ
I have never seen such bootlicking in my life!!Namakando is a disgrace to the pensioners association!!
