The leader of the Congolese opposition and the first secretary of the Pan African Union for Social Democracy (UPADS), Pascal Tsaty Mabiala, emerged on Wednesday, June 30, from his long silence observed since the presidential election he boycotted in March last year. He called on the government to reform the pension system.
Interview with our correspondent in Brazzaville,Loïcia Martial
During a press conference, UPAD’s first secretary believes that the pension system is deficient, based on an old mechanism. “The government is wrong to believe that this problem is only budgetary,” regrets Pascal Tsaty Mabiala. In fact, we need to reform our pension system, which is based only on the old mechanism based on solidarity and which only works normally only during full-time employment or when the welfare state covers deficits through grants “.
“Why, moreover, this deviation from having created and maintained a public facility called the National Pension Fund for Civil Servants (CRF) 32 years ago to manage pensions? asks the opposition leader. What was just a directorate within the Ministry of Finance has become a mammoth with large operating costs that increase FIU’s deficit. A reform is needed to restart this establishment and guarantee its functional sustainability ”.
