Dear Editor,

It is good for the public to note the failure of the management of the MMA to pay its pensioners once again.

Management went ahead to pay themselves and other staff on the job the 9% increase like that of their counterpart in the wider public service, but failed to pay their pensioners the increases due to them from January 2006 to December 2006 and from January 2007 to December 2007 at the level of 5% and this is due to the fact that no increase was paid since 2005 January to them.

Another 9% increase is due from January 2007 to these pensioners. When will MMA pay these increases? Management knows fully well that its pensioners cannot strike but wait to beg alms. One day they also will become pensioners.

Yours faithfully,

Leyland Paul
