    "content": "You hear the PSC saying that they are waiting for a word from the Salaries and Remunerations Commission (SRC). Why should they wait for a word from the SRC? This is gratuity. It is in contract-based. It is known that once I have served even one term, I get my gratuity and go home. Even today, I am entitled to it except, of course, when I get another term that gratuity is commuted because it will be calculated for two terms rather than one term. On pension, I save for it and the Government also saves for me. I do not see why there should be confusion. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we must make it very clear that gratuity is a contract term we are entitled to while pension is a social benefit I am working towards and the Government is giving something in recognition of the service I am giving to the public."
