Over 100 officers nearing retirement have been equipped with skills on how to live a better life after their service in the Uganda Police Force.
Drawn from the Kampala metropolitan policing area, the one day workshop ran under the theme “Demystifying the fear of life after retirement from active service” at CID headquarters Kibuli.
While opening the workshop, the deputy Director Human Resource Administration, SCP Musana Godfrey, urged the officers to take retirement as normal.
“Retirement is normal and is a must for all of us regardless of what age you are now. You need to plan at your own in your private life. Do not spend extravagantly what you are earning, make it a habit to save and invest it wisely as that is the only way that will make you live a meaningful life after retirement,” said Musana.
The workshop was organized to help participants understand and plan for life after retirement, understand the concept of retirement, explain the existing retirement policy in the Public service and equip participants with skills and techniques of coping up with retirement demands.
The participants benefited from privately sourced investment experts who guided the nearing retirement officers on the sustainable investments that can make them live comfortably as if they are still working.
