Zimbabwe unveils generous Mugabe retirement package

[ahlam1399]

HARARE: Zimbabwe?s ousted president Robert Mugabe will get a residence, a car fleet and private air travel as part of a new government-funded retirement package for former leaders, state media reported Thursday. Mugabe will also be entitled to at least 20 staffers including six personal security guards, all paid for from state coffers, according to details of the benefits published in The Herald newspaper. The 93-year-old, who quit last month under popular pressure following a military takeover, is the first beneficiary of the generous measures unveiled Wednesday by new President Emmerson Mnangagwa. No monetary details were spelt out, but the country?s constitution stipulates that an ex-president is entitled to a pension equivalent to the salary of a sitting president.
