The former Vice President Prof. Gilbert Bukenya is crying out for his retirement package.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bukenya says government is yet to give him his retirement perks as provided for in the Emoluments of President, Vice President and Prime Minister Act.<\/span><\/p>\n

He says that other leaders who retired have received their packages yet he has written three letters to Public Service, raising the same matter.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last week, MPs tasked the Public Service State Minister, Ssezi Mbaguta to explain why there had been delays in paying retirement benefits to the former leaders; however she explained that they will be cleared soon.<\/span><\/p>\n
