The University of Zambia (UNZA) management has promised to pay lectures the excess teaching allowances next week on Tuesday.
The UNZA lecturers have been on a work stoppage since Monday on June 1 demanding payment of the excess teaching allowances.
UNZA Registra Kavwanga Yambayamba said in a Circular addressed to academic staff made available to ZANIS in Lusaka today that the management will pay the excess teaching allowances on Tuesday next week.
Dr Yambayamba appealed to the lectures at the highest learning institution to call off their work stoppage as their grievances are being addressed.
Dr Yambayamba has assured the academic staff that they will be paid their excess allowances next week on Tuesday 9th June and has since urged them to resume their normal teaching activities on Monday 8th June 2015.
Academic staff at UNZA went on a work stoppage on 1st June and gave the management one month period in which to pay them the excess teaching allowances.
Salaries are not even supposed to be delayed in the first place, that’s a clear sign of poor planning. This is what we expect in Lungu’s government. Instead of prioritizing this issue he is out there in north western galavanting and harassing First Quantum for campaign money
Please,please, it is not salaries but excess teaching allowances. Why do you like commenting on things you have little or no knowledge about. Don’t miss lead people.
You choose to jump the issue being discussed as a case in point and want to show your anger about something else. The money in question is not salaries BUT allowances sir. The salaries have already been paid and the academic staff have been talking about the delay in receiving the allowances. No need to politicise this issue, as the money is paid by Unza managemen, regardless of who the sitting President is!!!! Unza has it’s Chief Executive and management just like your organisation and formulates a budget which it is obligated to honour in the running of their institution. But in your ‘learned’ it is because of LaLungu. What a shame to think so lowly and without objective. Hold management to account like the academic staff rightly have don, and the problems are being resolved.
Zambians let’s be serious with our country, why wait so long untill pipo strike.shame some country are doing far better than us.stop kidding
Well done UNZA lecturers. Lecturers and staff at MU (mulunghi Univ.) have been on strike for past 4 wks. They have not been paid attention to. The problems in govt Universities are corruption, plunder through privileges, and management incapacity. For MU, these run at the core of its failure. This woman VC from UNISA has run down that University to a level unimaginable. People out there should be asking why are these VCs so rich. The woman VC came with nothing hardly 3 years ago; she now has farms, constructing mansions. She upped her salary to K75,000. The Univ bought her a K500, 000 Merc. No minister’s that Merc as official car. Other chief officers get more than K45, 000 a month. Allowances ni mbwee! Corruption smells at MU. Can an entity survive such plunder? Boma ili kuti? Dinosaurs!
Wont HH come up with his theoretical plan as usual. Watching from the terraces!
