More than 800 retired policemen seek constitutional remedy on pensions

A total of 842 retired policemen have filed an application against the Prime Minister, the Attorney General and the Social Services director claiming they were not receiving the pensions they were entitled to.

They asked the court for a constitutional remedy to start receiving the monies they were entitled to in full.

The former policemen, who are members of the Police Pensioners’ Association, said that while they were in the force they paid their social security contributions, entitling them to all benefits under the Social Security Act, including a pension. The Police Act entitled them to another pension after 25 years of service.

But, they said, they were only getting their Police Pension and the difference between this pension and the Social Security pension they were entitled to.

This, they said, was in breach of their fundamental human rights.

Is-Seduta tal-lum 25 ta'Frar 2010 giet differita ghal 25 ta' Marzu 2010 fid-9am.

Aggornamenti dwar l-andament ta' din il-kawza jibqghu jigu kommunikati lilkhom.

KAWZA KOSTITUZZJONALI DWAR IL-PENSJONI.

Nixtieq naghmel referenza ghall-pubblikazzjoni f’dan ir-rigward fuq il-magazine Il-Pulizija, harga Dicembru,2009 – Vol 16 Nru 4.

Bi zvista, gie pubblikat l-ewwel abbozz tal-preparazzjoni ghall din il-kawza minflok kopja ta’ l-original li gie pprezentat fil-Prim ‘Awla tal-Qorti Civili – Sede Kostituzzjonali fl-24ta’ Awissu,2009.

Billi dan l-izball ftiehem li eskluda dawk il-membri tal-Korp, illum pensjonanti wara li gew boarded out qabel ma lahqu ghamlu l-hamsa u ghoxrin sena servizz, u billi bir-ragun din is-sezzjoni ta’ pensjonanti hasset li din il-kawza mhix ser tkun tinkudi lilhom, hassejt, bhala Segretarju ta’ l-Ghaqda Pulizija Pensjonanti li ghandi nserrhilhom rashom immedjatament qabel ma tigi pubblikata harg ‘ohra tal-magazine Il-Pulizija tlett xhur ohra.

Ghalhekk qed nippubblika kopja fidila ta’ l-imsemmi Protest Gudizzjarju datat 24ta’ Awissu,2009 kif ukoll kopja tar-risposta, depositati fil-Qorti msemmija.

Bhalma jidher fit-tieni paragrafu ta’ dan il-protest, din il-kawza qeda ssir f’isem il-pensjonanti kollha:

‘illum huma lkoll irtirarti mill-Korp tal-Pulizija u dan wara illi lkoll ghamlu hamsa u ghoxrin sena servizz mal-Korp tal-Pulizija jew dak in-numru ta’ snin li jintitolahom ghall-pensjoni mill-Korp tal-Pulizija.’

Ghaldaqstant, fil-waqt li niskuza ruhhi ghan-nom ta’ l-Ghaqda Pulizija Pensjonanti ghall xi dubji li setghu inqalghu minhabba dan l-izball, nixtieq ninfurmakhom li din l-istqarrija kif ukoll kopja tal-Protest Gudizzjarju u r-risposta relattiva ser jigu pubblikati fil-harga li jmiss tal-magazine Il-Pulizija.

FUQ FUQ FGHIEX TIKONSISTI IL-kAWZA LI QEDIN NAGHMLU.

Sejjer nispjega fuq fuq fiex tikkonsisti din il-kawza. L-ghan ewlini jirigwardja il-problema li li tezisti fil-konfront tal-Ligi dwar is-Servizzi Sociali u li din tolqot lill kull wiehed u wahda minnha. Bhalm jaf kullhadd meta Pulizija Pensjonant jaghlaq il-61 sena minkejja li jkun hallas il-kontribuzzjoni tas-Sigurta Sociali (maghrufa bhala il-bolla ) ma jibbenifikax mill-pensjoni kollha, ghax mill-ammont tal-pensjoni dovut il-Pulizija Pensjonant jitnaqqaslu l-ammont tal-pensjoni tal-Pulizija. Dan isir minhabba li skond il-ligi tas-Sigurta Sociali, l-ammont tal-pensjoni tas-servizz irid jitnaqqas minn din il-pensjoni li ghaliha wiehed ikun hallas permess ta’ l-hekk maghrufa bhala il-bolla. Ahna meta dhalna fil-Pulizija dhalna taht kuntratt tal-Ligi tal-Pulizija li ahna meta naghmlu 25 sena servizz niehdu 2/3 tal-paga li ghandna. Meta nispiccaw ahna ghandna ghazla li nistaw inbieghu ¼ ta’ din il-pensjoni u tahha niehdu soma flus. Meta dhalna fil-Pulizija ahna bdejna nhalsu il-bolla ukoll, l-iskop tal-bolla xinghu ? l-iskop tal-bolla huwa li ahna meta jkollna 61 sena niehdu pensjoni bhal ma jiehu kull impjegat tal-Gvern. Issa hemm din l-anomalija fir-rigward tal-Pulizija u li din ghadu hadd ma ikkontesta, meta naghlqu il-61 sena il-pensjoni tigi comuted fuq soma ta’ fuq LM7000; min din titnaqas il-pensjoni tal-Pulizija (tat-tezor) u id-differenza nohduhom min National Insurance minn dak li nkunu hallasna matul is-snin. Din fiha ingustizzja, ghaliex billi ahna nkunu bieghna ¼ mil-pensjoni dan il-kwart qied jitnaqqas ukoll mill-pensjoni tan-National Insurance.( Ha nati ezempju jekk niehdu 400 u ahna inbieghu ¼ mela ahna bdejna niehdu 300, issa meta ahna naghlqu il-61 sena mhux it-300 jitnaqsu mill ammont imma l’400, mela issa dik il-100 differenza biex nohduha irridu naghlqu it-72 sena u irridu napplikaw ghax inkella ma niehdu xejn. Ahna mhux qedin niehdu zewg pensjonijiet ghaliex ahna li niehdu huwa il-pensjoni tal-Pulizija mit-Tezor sa kemm immutu u id-differenza nohduha b’cheque iehor minn National Insurance. Meta wiehed jara id-differenza u jmur is-Social Services jistaqsi ghaliex hemm din id-differenza dan jigi infurmat li il-pensjoni nhadmet skond il-Ligi ghaliex fost il-karti li ahna iffirmajna meta dhalna fil-Pulizija ahna ghamilna kuntratt li wara 25 sena niehdu pensjoni. Il-kas taghna hu partikulari, ahna sejrin nattakkaw il-Ligi ghax ahna qedin naghidu li il-Ligi tan-National Insurance hija ingusta fir-rigward tal-Pulizija. Ahna din il-parti tal-Ligi li irridu nattakkaw dik tal-1956 fejn hemm section illi tghidminn ghandu pensjoni ohra dik il-pensjoni titnaqqas mill-ammont globali li Public Officer jiehu, ahna qedin naghidu hemm dik is-section fil-Ligi li qeda tmur kontra l-propjeta li kull cittadin ghandu ‘’il-Ligi tad-drittijiet tal-bniedem’’ li tipprotegih. Mela ahna qedin neidu jiena suppost li mill-pensjoni tal-Pulizija qied niehu tant, jiena hallast il-bolla u suppost min-National Insurance niehu tant, mela inti qied iccahhadni parti min tal-bolli. Din hija serja hafna ghax daqs li kieku jien ghandi propjeta hadtli id-dar tieghi u ma tajtnix kumpens.

Ahna fil-Pulizija m’ghandna xejn anqas u xejn izjed minn cittadin normali mela ghaliex m’ahniex nigu stmati daqs cittadini normali, ahna biex nizzewgu irridu permess,biex immorru honeymoon irridu permess biex issiefer fuq holiday trid permess u trid teghid fejn sejjer u il-lukanda li sejjer tkun toqghod, biex tispicca mill-Pulizija trid permess dawn fil-Pulizija biss issibhom u fl-ebda dipartiment jew section tal-Gvern ma jezistu.

Fuq, fuq din hija il-kawza li qedin naghmlu, jekk din il-Kawza tintrebah igawdi minnha kullhadd specjalment dawk li gejjin warajna, ghalhekk ghandna bzonn is-support ta’ kull hadd.

L-Ghaqda Pulizija Pensjonanti qed tirievi bosta lmenti minghand il-membri taghha li kienu membri fil-Korp tal-Pulizija ta' Malta , peress li skond cirkolari numru 63/1993 para 3.5.2, li l-istess Korp kien hareg meta dawn kienu membri attivi, huma ntitolati ghall-hlas ghal-xoghol maghmul minnhom meta jeccedi l-46 siegha fil-gimgha. Ir-risposta li dawn il-membri qedin jinataw (mhux mill Ghaqda Pulizija Pensjonanti ) hija li peres li huma spiccaw mil-Korp tal-Pulizija issa ma ghandhomx dritt ghat talba. L-Ghaqda Taghna thoss li din ir-risposta hija hazina u ingusta mal-membri ta' l-Ghaqda wara li dawn il-membri taw servizz lil Korp tal-Pulizija. Ghalhekk il-Kunsill ta' l-Ghaqda Pulizija Pensjonanti sejjer jitlob li issir laqgha ma l-awtoritajiet kompetenti sabiex din il-kwistjoni tigi diskussa u rizolta u dawn il-membri jiehdu dak li hu dovut lilhom.

L-ufficju ta' l-Ghaqda Pulizija Pensjonanti qied ikun miftuh kull nhar ta' Gimgha bejn 4.30 pm u 6.30pm.

Hundreds of former police officers have filed a judicial protest on Monday, claiming that their pensions are being wrongly calculated.

A total of 836 former officers, members of the Police Pensioners’ Association, filed the protest against the Prime Minister, the Attorney General and the Director of Social Security.

They stated that the pension they receive under the Police Act is being deducted from the pension paid out under the Social Security Act. Since the former officers paid their social security contribution in full, they are claiming they should be entitled to a full pension under the Social Security Act.

The pensioners are therefore asking the authorities to recognise that their rights are being breached by the way their pensions are calculated, and to remedy the situation as soon as possible. They are also seeking compensation for the damages suffered.

Lawyers Adrian Delia and William Cuschieri signed the writ.

Il-Hinijiet il-godda tal-ftuh tal-ufficju tal-ghaqda ghax-xahar ta' Lulju 2009 huma : L-Erbgha, l-Hamis u l-Gimgha bejn l-4:30pm u 6:30pm.

Waqt il-Konferenza Generali li nzammet nhar il-Hadd 21 ta' Gunju 2009, gew imressqa xi proposti ghall-approvazzjoni tal-membri bhala emendi fl-istatut. Dawn it-tibdiliet huma fl-artikolu 15,40,u 2.

Fuq suggeriment tas-sur Nikol Cutajar, li kien hemm qbil dwaru minn kulhadd, sejjer jinholoq fond imexxi mit-tezorier Anthony Gatt fejn kull membru ta'=ghaqda qieghed jigi mitlub jikontribwixxi EUR10 biex jghin ghal hlas tal-kawza li l-ghaqda sejra taghmel f'isem il-membri. Din il-kontribuzzjoni tista ssir fl-0ufficju tal-ghaqda fil-hinijiet tal-ftuh jew fil-kont BOV numru 40018273216 bl-isem 'Ghaqda Pulizija Pensjonanti'. Dawk il-membri ghawdxin jistghu jirrikorru ghans ir-rapprezentant taghna, is-Sur Wigi Dimech. Tigi mahruga rcevuta ghal kull kontribuzzjoni.

Wara l-ahahr Konferenza Generali Straordinarja li saret il-Hadd 19 t' Arpil 2009 u Seduta generali li saret il-Hadd 21 ta' Gunju 2009, il-Kunsill tal-Ghaqda hass il-htiega li jaghmel laqgha ma shabna l-membri ghaxdxin sabiex jigi spjegat lilhom x'gara u x'intqal f'dawn iz-zewg seduti fir-rigward tal-kawza li l-ghaqda sejra taghmel f'isem il-membri kollha taghha rigward l-aggustament fil-Ligi tal-pensjoni.

Din il-laqgha sejra ssir nhar il-hamis 9 ta' lulju 2009 fis-6.30pm gewwa l-iscouts Headquarters, Victoria.
