FURTHER CONCERNED that some administrators of pensions and insurance services have taken advantage of the economic challenges to cause further prejudice by coming up with inaccurate benefit calculations, engaging in governance malpractices within pension schemes and insurance policies, poor accounting and record keeping and manipulating regulations and legislation to their benefit;

 

DISTURBED by the complete disregard of the welfare of pensioners by the concerned authorities;

NOW THEREFORE, resolves that:
