When you retire as a public officer, you are entitled to a pension that matches your rank, salary, and how long you worked. Your pension is tax-free, and the government must regularly review it to keep up with changes in the cost of living. You should receive your pension payments on time, regularly, and in a way that is easy for you to access.

A public officer shall, on retirement, receive such pension as is commensurate with his or her rank, salary and length of service.

The pension payable to any person shall be exempt from tax and shall be subject to periodic review to take account of changes in the value of money.

The payment of pension shall be prompt and regular and easily accessible to pensioners.

Article 254 guarantees fair, tax-exempt pensions for Ugandan public officers based on rank, salary and service length, with regular payments.
