The Trades Union Congress (TUC) has called on government to reconsider its decision to exclude security service agencies in the country from the unification of pensions.

This comes after President Akufo-Addo, in his State of the Nation Address to end his first term in office, announced government’s decision to exclude all security agencies from the unification of pension benefits.

The unification seeks to bring all pension schemes under the three-tier system by the end of the year.

It will be recalled that, after an examination of a report on the National Pensions Act, 2008 (Act 766), government in August 2020, excluded the Police Service, the Immigration Service, the National Fire Service, the Prison Service and intelligence agencies from the unification and allowed these services to remain on their already existing pension programmes.
