He explained, in the new pension scheme is one of them by considering the period of work and contributions paid by civil servants. "We expect to be calculated also based on the period of work and the amount of contributions that may now be managed not properly, but the pension fund still managed by Taspen will not be returned to its prosperity for ASN," he explained.
