The MP questioned Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, Navin Ramgoolam, about his ministry’s estimates concerning the number of beneficiaries of pensions at age 60 or older.
Despite Duval’s repeated questions, the Prime Minister did not provide clear answers, leaving ambiguity around the figures presented by the government. This has led to criticism from the opposition, which believes that the lack of transparency could have significant repercussions on public finances.

The concerns raised by the MP are shared by many citizens who are worried about their financial future. The pension reform is a sensitive topic, and the lack of clarity regarding its actual cost could lead to a loss of trust in government institutions.
As debates continue within the National Assembly, the public is awaiting concrete answers and a clear commitment from the government regarding the measures to be taken to ensure the viability of the pension system.
