Lukato blasts Nandi-Ndaitwah for breaking pension promise

A N$104B budget just threw seniors under the bus with a pathetic N$100 pension hike.

Budget debate exposes broken pension pledge

• Martin Lukato shredded the N$104B budget.
• It only budgets a N$100 pension increase.
• That’s far from the promised N$3,000 monthly grant.
• The president’s earlier commitment got scrapped for youth.

Nandi-Ndaitwah’s shifting pension promise

• Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah originally vowed a N$3,000 pension boost.
• After her inauguration, she delayed it for youth programs.
• She previously told seniors the hike would come gradually.
• Lukato fired back that pensioners raised those young people.

Lukato’s moral imperative argument

• Martin Lukato called pensioners the nation’s backbone.
• They raised generations while youth got prioritized.
• He argued the country has enough resources for elders.
• Parliament must honor the N$3,000 moral pledge.
