Workers at the state run National Housing Authority have not been paid for salaries for the past three months.
This was revealed by NHA Acting Chief Executive Officer Waicha Ndhlovu when State House Special Assistant for Project Monitoring and Implementation Lucky Mulusa toured the NHA Headquarters.
Mrs Ndhlovu said Government must come and offer grants to the institution to enable it meet its operational costs.
She revealed that NHA is owed K 900 in unpaid arrears for its property which has made it difficult to even meet salaries for its workers.
And Mr Mulusa assured that Government will intervene in the matter and maintained that the organisation is still viable.
…what I don’t understand is how such families survive….3 months without pay…were the other spouse also works somewhere else is understandable…the other salary can sustain the family for the affected months…now were only the husband or a single mom works for NHA…3 mths no salary…meanwhile they report for work every day….how…??
3 months is nothing….. Workers survive on what they pay themselves from government resources, the low workers sell Government gazette papers to marketeers for wrapping Kapenta.
ALL THOSE THAT VOTED FOR LUNGU I HOPE YOU HAVE LEARNED YOUR LESSON. NEVER AGAIN SHOULD A COUNTRY EVER ALLOW SUCH INCOMPETENCE TO RULE. THIS IS CRIMINAL LUNGU AND HIS FRIENDS ARE ENJOYING LIFE FLYING TO NEW YORK ON CHATERED PLANES FOR $300, 000 MEAN WHILE FAMILIES ABANA BELEFWA KU NSALA! THIS IS IT
UNO MWAKA VOTE WISE!!!
Surely how can this NHA still up to now can not make a profit or have make operational capital…this organisation up to now is run like a ministry; this has been the story for the past 15 years. How do you let tenants live rent free..why can you not kick them out are they linked to your bosses for all you know they are sub-letting!!
Didn’t they march saying IFintu Ni Lungu? Lungu has money to corruptly votes by buying free bikes in Chipata, people to defect and kaponyas to terrorise the opposition.
lungu and PF are being very careless, this is an election year and they are supposed to be working hard and on top of things. But alas they are clueless on many things and letting things spiral out of control. So they expect people to simply go and vote for them even after messing with their favorite commodity. A rude awakening awaits them.
PFools are saying they have created more jobs when thousands and thousands are being layed out. do they know what they are really saying. especial chimbilililili .
“She revealed that NHA is owed K 900 in unpaid arrears for its property which has made it difficult to even meet salaries for its workers”. Can you be factual and give us the correct amount owed to you. You think K900 can clear the three months arrears owed to your entire workforce at NHA!
NHA Management comprises jokers. Whenever you approach them to rent either their houses or former INDECO and ZIMCO properties for offices, they have inherited and let out to public, they will tell you that those properties are fully booked and people pay years or months in advance to avoid losing them because they are on high demand. Their staff are indisciplined and the system they use to allocate those public properties is not transparent and known to anyone. They have sold out plots given to them to build more buildings to raise more money giving an impression that they are making more money than they need and today the crying that they can’t afford to pay salaries.
