Mr K.B. Asante, Ashanti Regional Chairman of the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) Pensioners Association has appealed to the government to exempt pensioners from paying further tax.
Mr Asante made the appeal during the inauguration of the Atwima District branch of the SSNIT Pensioners Association at Nkwaie. He urged the government to reciprocate the hard work and honesty the pensioners had exhibited during their working days.
Mr Asante urged the members to unite and fight for their rights and advised the executives to accept constructive criticisms that would help build the association.
Mr Francis Osei Mensah, Regional Secretary of the association urged the pensioners to educate the youth on the importance of honesty and hard work. He further advised the members to pay their dues regularly to help in the efficient running of the association.
Mr Asante later swore a seven-member executive committee into office.
