Civil Servant and Allied Workers Union of Zambia (CSAWUZ) in Northern Province has hailed government for remitting the money which was deducted from civil servants as part of the debt swap recovery.
CSAWUZ Northern Province Secretary, Wallace Kasao said the move taken by government is commendable. Mr Kasao said the union had advocated that government pays back the money that was deducted from the civil servants, saying it is gratifying that it has heard their cries.
He stated that this is an indication that government cares for its workers.
And National Union for Public and Private Educators in Zambia (NUPPEZ) Northern Province Chairperson, Frazer Sinyangwe said the action by government to refund the money is encouraging to workers.
Mr Sinyangwe said most of the workers’ budgets were seriously inconvenienced when their monies were deducted.
He said the Union appreciates the move taken by government as this also gives them confidence that the new dawn government listens to the voices of its workers.
Mr Sinyangwe further encouraged government to continue giving a listening ear to issues affecting the workers.
But bottom line is that those loans will have to be paid. Full stop.
Immediately they get established they will effect the same measures they are playing with we shall see how it will end
Looks like everyone is now kissing ass…afraid to lose their jobs….praise this…praise that…..if they don’t kiss ass they might lose their jobs
It is only in Zambia where a Govt is praised for doing what they should do. Moreover, it was your money that was deducted. Why should you be praising Govt for giving you back your money. This shows the levels at which we are. It is not long ago that the same political party while in opposition told people not to praise the PF Govt because it was Govt resource being used and that they were supposed to build roads, schools and hospitals anyway. And today you are praising the same political party in Govt for refunding you back your money? Is this what the new “Dawn means”? God help us.
