Majorities of pensioners have voiced their frustrations and disappointment with NASSIT as the long-awaited 25% pension increment, expected in April 2025, has yet to materialize.
Since its establishment in 2002, beneficiaries of the National Social Security and Insurance Trust (NASSIT) have endured neglect and financial challenges while grappling with the increasing cost of living.
The failure of NASSIT to deliver on its promise has left pensioners in a state of uncertainty, with many questioning if the increase will ever materialize. The lack of transparency and communication regarding the delayed pension increment has only added to the growing frustration among the elderly beneficiaries.
As tensions rise and concerns mount, pensioners are calling on NASSIT and the Ministry of Labour to provide a clear explanation for the delay. Failure to address this issue promptly may result in further discontent and feelings of disregard among the elderly population.
It is crucial that NASSIT and the relevant authorities engage with pensioners openly and honestly to restore faith in the system and ensure that the rights of elderly individuals are upheld. The time to act is now, before the situation escalates beyond repair.
