Over 30 years of retirement, Orchard would collect as much as $1.28 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.
The projection assumes Orchard received $26,998 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Orchard will have already received $26,998 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
