Residents Doctors Association of Zambia have refuted reports suggesting that Junior doctors at the University Teaching Hospital UTH have downed tools.
Association President Francis Mupeta says no Junior doctor has gone on strike and that the misunderstanding between the members and government is being attended to through the available procedures.
Dr Mupeta says government owes 250 Junior doctors over 10 Million Kwacha in settling allowances and school fees for Post Graduate students which has not been paid for over a year.
Dr Mupeta said this at a press briefing in Lusaka.
He added that government has promised to settle the debt owed to doctors within two weeks adding that the association has faith in government.
K10 MILLION PROBABLY THE ANNUAL SALARY OF ONE DEPUTY MINISTER IN LUNGUS BLOATED CABINET. THIS IS WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. PRIORITIES BA PF! PRIORITIES!
They are Junior Quacks! They haven’t even saved any lives and they are demanding money. Zambians need to learn to sacrifice a little for their country. If you went into medicine to make money then you need to leave and go into business!
Dr mupeta is right, these days mu Zambia workers dont strike, they just riot!, so those jr doctor maybe went on riot… Thats why us ex-Zambians/exciled Zambians are staying put with dual citizenship.. First these riots must be stopped by removing the ‘head’
Are you the only ones you doctors in the country?If the answer is no then work whole heartedly there are a lot of workers in this country who are working under difficult conditions but they sacrifice to serve the interests of people therefore my conclusion is that you’re just interested in money not work .Stupid doctors!
This money was not caused by PF. I started work 20yrs ago but I have not received my said allowance as well. This is the time we all got invoved in suctificing for our country. HE edgar lungu do what should be done to show the same sucrifice. Ministers lets help our govt by sucrificing some allowances and other benefits. lets not leave it to the poor AWE
