This Question was first asked in 1986 as Parliamentary Question No. 664, and it was appropriately answered. Mr. Rwenje cannot be compensated for the following reasons: One, by the time he retired, he had passed the mandatory retirement age of 55 years. He was born in 1927 and retired in 1983. Two, in accordance with Regulation 6 of the Pension Act, he is not eligible for compassionate gratuity or pension by virtue of him having been employed as a subordinate staff. Three, he was advised upon retirement to withdraw his benefits under the NSSF Act. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."}
