A group of aggrieved public sector workers have decided to hit the streets to demonstrate to reject the 4% salary increment government has proposed for public sector workers.
The aggrieved workers want the salaries of public sector workers to be increased by 25% instead of 4%
The leader of the aggrieved workers, Norbert Gborgbortsi speaking on Akoma FM on August 9, 2021 said, “there is no equity and fairness in the recent salary increment. How can others receive 79% increase and we the tax payers will only see 4% surge?”
The group having over 30,000 members, say it will hit the streets on Monday, August 18 if nothing is done to adjust the 4% to at least 25%.
Mr Gborgbortsi told the host of the show that, “we have already petitioned Parliament, nothing new has come up. So we have notified the police about our intention to hit the streets so very arrangement is line so government must expect our demonstration because with all additional tax introduction this year only 4% has been added to our salaries. It is nothing to write home about.”
The group further urged all public sector workers to come on board and fighting for what is due them.
