The Treasury Pension Office, under the Accountant General’s Department, is responsible for disbursing retirement benefits to national and political leaders, as well as public servants who do not contribute to any social security funds.
This was stated by the Chief Accountant from the Pension Unit of the Ministry of Finance, Ms. Joyce Chacky, during the 48th International Trade Fair (Sabasaba) held at the Julius Nyerere grounds on Kilwa Road, Temeke, in Dar es Salaam.

Ms. Chacky explained that the types of benefits provided by the Treasury to retirees include gratuity for employees retiring as per the law at the age of 60 or those opting for early retirement starting at the age of 55.
She further detailed that another type of benefit is the monthly pension paid to retirees under the provisions of the 1956 Chapter 371 law and the 2018 Public Service Social Security Fund Act.
Ms. Chacky mentioned additional benefits paid by the Unit, which include inheritance benefits, death pensions, benefits for dependents, gratuities resulting from work-related accidents, disability pensions, and contract-related benefits.
She urged citizens to visit the Ministry of Finance’s booth to gain knowledge about the pensions paid by the Treasury, to increase understanding and avoid misinformation.
