This is a fake, alarmist and self praise story. There’s no teacher who hasn’t been paid their retirement benefits after retiring in 1994. Just trying to self help praise Upnd when this is not true! Just trying to paid picture that all the previous presidents from Chiluba, didn’t pay retirees. Instead of making Hichilema popular you are making him more unpopular because of lies! Too many lies from the Upnd government and you are just tarnishing your image even more!
Ba Mukuka, you have forgotten the Ministry of Justice retirees saga? There is no fake STORY here. This was the retiree’s true story right up to the end of PF reign.
A lot of retirees actually died without getting their benefits. Don’t pretend that you are not aware of this FACT.
It is a big relief !from Berlin.
