The Public Service Pension Fund continues to register dividends on investments. 28th July 2021, saw Dr John Mushayavanhu of FBC Bank presenting Dr Vincent Hungwe with a cheque for returns on investment. This comes just one month after receiving dividends from yet another investment initiative. As serving employees go into retirement the Public Service Pension fund has an obligation to pay up all due liabilities. In the past the tendency was to go and withdraw from the national consolidated revenue fund for purposes of meeting the liability. The Public Service Pension fund has since migrated, with the aid of Treasury, to a newer where there is advance preparation.
