No teacher should be allowed to claim retirement before reaching 60 years- says Kumumanya.

The Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Local Government, Benjamin Kumumanya is concerned over a rising trend where science teachers are seeking early retirement after receiving salary enhancements. Kumumanya, speaking at a quarterly meeting of accounting officers in Kampala, revealed that many teachers are opting to retire prematurely to claim their retirement benefits, a practice he believes needs to be addressed.
