FOLLOWING the signing into law of the National Pension Scheme Amendment Bill 2023 which allows for the partial withdrawal of pensions, some residents have been seen queueing up at NAPSA Offices in an effort to start the process of partially accessing their contributions.
However, NAPSA director general Muyangwa Muyangwa disclosed to the media that the process will be done online and people do not need to necessarily need to visit company offices unless there is a challenge.
President Hakainde Hichilema signed the Bill into law yesterday.
