SSHFC pensioners transmit demands to executive Board of Directors for presentation to Government

SSHFC Pensioners/Employers' meeting 

Following their inaugural meeting held at TANGO Headquarters, the SSHFC pensioners convened a follow-up General Meeting this week (Saturday) at the Semega-Janneh Hall in SerreKunda.

Representatives of the pensioners who attended the meeting with the Vice President at State House last Monday presented their report of the meeting to the General Meeting, followed by useful exchange among the membership.   

The membership agreed to formally write and reiterate their stance on the role of the Board in accordance and consistent with the SSHFC Act. 

The membership also urged the Board to "stand firm...against government interference" and to conduct itself in a manner that similar interference from external forces do not undermine the powers of the Board.  Usurpation of the Board's powers under the operational Act of Parliament should neither be encouraged nor tolerated.

The Resolution of the 1st September, 2018 meeting - that included specific demands - was reviewed and other pertinent issues included to form the overall demands of the members. 

The membership called upon the Board to convene a general membership meeting after the conclusion of consultations with Government for the purpose of reporting on the outcome of such consultations.
