These remarks were made during a question-and-answer session in the Dodoma Parliament. Dr. Tulia provided this general advice to the Deputy Minister of the Prime Minister’s Office, responsible for Employment, Youth, and Persons with Disabilities, Patrobas Katambi, emphasizing that such a step would enhance the efficiency of social security funds in disbursing benefits to retirees.
Highlighting the reasons for these proposed changes, Dr. Tulia stressed that delays in benefit payments significantly affect the well-being of retirees and other beneficiaries of social security funds. Recognizing the importance of these benefits to retirees’ livelihoods, it is crucial for the law to explicitly state that beneficiaries experiencing delays in payment should receive appropriate interest.

Stakeholders in social security and members of parliament are urged to support these recommendations put forth by Dr. Tulia to facilitate the process of legal amendments to social security fund laws and strengthen the benefit payment system. This step will contribute to the well-being of society and instill confidence in retirees and other members of these funds for the future.
