Over 30 years of retirement, Bantham would collect as much as $2.88 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.
The projection assumes Bantham received $60,613 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Bantham will have already received $187,348 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
