David Musila. The Minister has said that the law is not being breached, but he confirmed that there are a few outstanding cases. The reason as to why this House passed that particular law was because those kinds of excuses were being given. The amendment in Section 16A says:- “A person to whom a pension or other allowances are payable under this Act shall be entitled to be retained in the service until the payment in full of the same payable to him.”"}
