Some civil servants hardly accept the reality of retirement, whether retirement by age or years of service. Some make serious effort to extend their stay by either reducing their age or try to pay for new appiontment letter with a new date. Many civil servants now have their First School Leaving Certificate(FSLC) at the age of 3 or even born the same year they got their FSLC. Others just wish there is second tenure to serve. The big question is, why are some civil servants scared of retirement ? Is it the delay in payment of gratuity and pension? Or the long gap that nothing comes into the pocket of once a salary earner with lots of financial obligations ? The government on it's own part needs to improve on pattern of payment of retirement benefits, let there be no gap between when a civil servant receives his/her last salary before retirement and the payment of the retirement benefits.

Because a larger percentage of them wasting their fruitful years reveling in laziness in their do-nothing offices, they soon get to realise that they have no solid investments, no assets, a lean bank balance that can barely hold body and soul; when this reality hit them the only thing they can think of is to extend their stay.
