Over 30 years of retirement, Messenger would collect as much as $364,768, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.
The projection assumes Messenger received $7,667 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Messenger will have already received $7,667 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
