Dispute over government’s pension scheme for the old aged!

“My father retired from the government job, yet he didn’t receive a single coin as pension,” said a woman who is frustrated with the current administration. “None of our family members will vote for a MDP candidate, actually we were behind him till yesterday”, she added. According to them, their family is rejected from the society for being hard-line DRP supporters during the presidential election last September, although a recent independent survey conducted by www.hulhudhootoday.com found out that the said family was a hardcore supporter of “MDP candidate” for Hulhumeedhoo.

Roumers about ignoring the needy is out bursting the four corners of Hulhumeedhoo. “We know who received pension money and why. Those who have close ties with Anni and MDP are given priority,” said the woman. Another man complained, “My father is 115 years old according to national identity card, bedridden at Hulhumeedhoo Health Center but has not received old aged pension money”.

Hulhudhoo Today has learned several causes for failure to reach pension money to every deserved individual. Failure to complete application forms by the office, confusion over age, unavailability of identity cards and other relevant documents were among those noted. “My grandmother received rufiyaa 2000 as pension whereas my grandfather did not” said a Hulhudhooan living in Male’. Further, he inquired the crisis with Hulhudhoo Office and came to know that the problem was due to failure to fill up the forms properly.

“We will pay for two months this time for those who did not receive their first payment”, National Social Protection Agency stated. On the other had the government’s stand in this regard is providing pension money to every individual above 65 years, which government will certainly execute, they say. Unless the preceding misconception is resolved, the hatred against government and its interests will continue to rise.
