If he would be entitled to two positions pays, then he would be probably having the last laugh.

Can someone who knows the answer please reply. I was wondering the same thing.

I think his perks goes away under the new Bill but I am not sure if he gets two salaries.

 

Here is an excerpt of the new Bill proposal:

Cessation of certain benefits and other facilities of former Presidents.

         

 

          5.    A former President shall cease to be entitled to the benefits and other facilities provided under section 3, if the former President engages in business, trade or paid employment or is convictedof a criminal offence for which a term of imprisonment is imposed.
