If you told me what it was I can offer an opinion. But you havent. I see a few perks, which one would expect. No mention even of an extravagant salary.

Is something bothering you about the fact that Obama will get a pension LOWER than Jagdeo?

You haven't got brains that can think, which is clear from your cobbled together words Big Grin. Is long time since we had someone on GNI with an IQ that low. You answered your own question for one. It is that the opposition did not get into politics for the benefits. Whatever each position in government or opposition entitles the bearer to were devised by the PPP in preparation for an election defeat. But unfortunately the PPP did not end up in opposition, this leaving the current opposition with perks originally designed for PPP members Wink.

May Tomorrow Never Comes!
my dear Billy Bob Thornton, tomorrow will come for these opposition politicians. it's our challenge to rise up and do something about it, like this strongman . Smile

No different than the PPP is with the the President's package. The Presidents pension plan will be coming up for review soon. A conscientious PPP ought to be including the opposition candidate pension plan for review as well. You simpletons trying for mileage here will not get any way without appealing to your party to demand a review.

How small is the fraction. Give us numbers. We know Jagdeo is getting more than Obama will get in 2013 or 2017. So how much will Granger get?

Why is this such a secret?

The benefits you outlined are available to most very senior civil servants. And have been since the colonial era.
