Opposition Senator Damani Tabor is questioning the reason for what he says is the late payment of pensions and salaries.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Public servants were paid late this month.<\/p>\n

Writing on his official Facebook page Table asks, “Why are pension payments getting later and later every month, with some pensioners getting paid as much as 20 days late?”<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

“Does the ABLP government think it’s acceptable to have our distinguished seniors waiting until the 15th, for funds due on the 25th of the previous month?”<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

He is also questioning what’s happening with social security.<\/p>\n

“Why is Social Security still struggling even after receiving a large loan to ensure on-time payments?”<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Tabor says in December 2018 Cabinet revealed that a whopping $54 million is owed to social security by other statutory corporations.<\/p>\n

“If the economy is so healthy – and compliance measures so effective, why do private sector employers owe $27 million, of which $10 million has been declared bad debt?<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Something is terribly and chronically wrong. Wages and pensions are clearly going to be a major issue over the coming months. May God’s guidance and a mutually uplifting community spirit help us to make it through the increased hardship to come.” He said.<\/p>
