The UPND has condemned the delay by government to pay retirees for ZESCO and councils in Eastern Province.
Provincial Youth Chairperson, Victor Mbuzi says that it is unacceptable for government to subject the retirees to such treatment.
Mr. Mbuzi told Breeze News Monday morning that government should realize that the retirees contributed a lot to the development of the country.
He says that the PF claims to be a pro-poor government, but wondered how they expect the retirees to survive for almost two year without terminal benefits.
Last week the retirees appealed to President Edgar Lungu to assist them get their money.
The UPND demands that government quickly pays retirees owed terminal benefits for two years.
