Parliamentary Security Committee Insists on 40-Year Retirement Option for Security Forces

rafidainscope - The Parliamentary Security and Defense Committee reiterated its determination to pass amendments to the Service and Retirement Law for the Internal Security Forces and the Ministry of Defense, maintaining that objections from the National Retirement Authority are non-binding. Committee member MP Ahmed Karim Al-Delfi rejected proposals raising the optional retirement age to 45, stating it undermines the reform. The committee insists on establishing the optional retirement age at 40 with 15 years of active service, alongside base salary adjustments and food allowance inclusions across both military and security institutions.
