Pay rise for civil servants soon

A senior government official told Parliament yesterday that civil servants might get a salary rise in the next two months.

Public Service ministry acting secretary Rodgers Sisimayi told the Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare committee chaired by Mazowe South MP Margaret Zinyemba that plans were underway to award government workers salary adjustments.

He said Finance minister Tendai Biti would make the announcement at the appropriate time and also release the percentages.
