Social Security
Social security is extremely important especially for the many persons who have reached retirement or is in need of the
state assistance. Over the years this ministry has not been given adequate attention or resources and many of its
function have now been taken over by MPs and councillors and have been politize thus preventing deserving persons
from benefiting from these services. These services must be restored to the ministry of Social Security where they can
be carried out by civil servants.
The social security ministry will seek to identify persons in need of help especially among the elderly and the disabled.
Ways will be looked at to get benifits to those who qualify in a much easier way
