Old Police Gratuity Claims Resurface
Description
A decades-old dispute over police gratuity claims resurfaces amid budget debates, with officers who never reached certain ranks potentially owed millions—some cases stretching back 15 to 20 years. The Finance Minister promises to investigate, while the National Security Minister notes court cases are mired in inconsistency, with some officers paid and others not. Many affected officers have since passed away, adding urgency. The Opposition urges judicial intervention, and the Prime Minister vows to review details if provided, while the National Security Minister prepares to meet with police unions. This isn’t new—last year, similar calls emerged for hundreds of retired officers wrongly denied compensation, with lawsuits dismissed on technicalities and courts still deciding.
