The 3000 nurses employed under President Edgar Lungu’s directive in 2019 have not been paid

Share

The 3000 nurses employed under President Edgar Lungu’s directive in 2019 have not been paid the arrears earned before they were put on the payroll by the Government.

The 3000 nurses were only put on payroll four months after their deployment but the four months arrears have not been paid to date.

The nurses talked to have complained that they have not heard anything from the relevant Authorities on whether they will be paid the arrears or not.

They have challenged government to pay them the arrears owed saying the money is too much for them to forgo.

Some nurses who get as much as K5000 together with their housing allowance lamented that the four months areas which were supposed to be paid together with the first salary should be paid to help them solve some of their financial challenges.

In August last year, there was growing frustration among the 3000 recruited nurses in the country due to delays by the government to put them on the payroll.

On President Edgar Lungu’s directive, the Ministry of Health in April 2019 employed 3,000 nurses who were deployed countrywide.

The Ministry of Health is yet to comment on the matter.

  1. Those appeals will fall on deaf ears and PF has run out for money to pay workers the only money they have is for campaign that’s all.

  2. Maybe people can begin to vote wisely, not for a piece of Chitenge, bucket of Chibuku, 20 kwacha note, or substandard lazy Dununa type noisy songs.
    YOU ARE BEING RULED BY DANGEROUS, BUT LAZY THIEVES!

Jonathan’s wages and trolley loads of allowances are paid on even when he eats free food and doesn’t have to pay a single bill .Meanwhile KZ and the so called media directors have enriched themselves for being seat warmers for fixing people who have opposing views to clueless Jona .Zambia has gone to the dogs .

  5. I cannot see or hear 4000 complaints. If 4000 people working in hospitals were not paid then am sure we would have about 300 people dying every day. Please be responsible in your reporting. Do not twist our arms to ban online media in Zambia

  8. Brother Kkaizer Zulu I greet you. I am not one of those people who just dislike or hate people simply because people have said very bad things about them. Even when they have done bad things I try and forgive them and I try to see a little good in them. Even in you Kaizer Zulu I see some good, in spite of all the negative publicity you receive because of your actions be they intentional, incidental or accidental. That said please find it in your heart not to mock these young nurses who have not been paid. God touch you.
