Civil Servants To Get Salary Increase

6 months agoThu, 03 Oct 2024 05:47:02 GMT

Minister of Finance, Economic Development, and Investment Promotion, Mthuli Ncube, has said civil servants will soon receive a salary increase to help mitigate the effects of a recent decision by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) to devalue the ZiG by over 40%.

In interviews with journalists following President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s State of the Nation Address (SONA) to parliament on Wednesday, October 2, Ncube explained that the devaluation was intended to close the gap between the official and parallel market values of the local currency.

He acknowledged that the decline in the ZiG has affected salaries, hence the need to restore their purchasing power. However, Ncube said salaries for civil servants will not be fully restored. He said:

Putting in place a flexible exchange rate or devaluation does have an impact immediately on incomes, on prices.
And for us as a government, we will make some adjustments, naturally, to civil service salaries to make sure that the purchasing power of the salaries is somewhat restored.

Maybe not in full, but because someone wants to get in there. So, there is bound to be pain, there’s bound to be impact, and that’s what happens with any policy.
Any policy does have negative impacts and that’s what will happen. But we will make some adjustments to make sure that those who are losers can be compensated somewhat.
It won’t be everybody who will be looked after, but we’ll do our best.

Meanwhile, about a fortnight ago, civil servants’ representatives rejected a Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) offer presented by the government during a National Joint Negotiating Council (NJNC) meeting.

The Zimbabwe Confederation of Public Sector Trade Unions (ZCPSTU) said that they had decided to escalate the matter to higher authorities for further engagement.

This means that even if civil servants receive a salary increase now, which Ncube acknowledged will not bring their salaries back to pre-ZiG devaluation levels, they will still be worse off and unlikely to feel satisfied.

Is it an increment or just an adjustment to maintain the value of the Zig component because kana waitambira 130zig that was 10usd which is now 300zig with current rate so kuwedzerwa 170zig pa130 yoita 300zig haisi increment.hapana chachinja in terms of value,ingori 10usd yakareyo.wake up

No government should be pressured to give a an increment because the economist they employed know that the investment of any government is to give good salaries to the civil servants. Without the government creating demand the industry collapses..

Putting the cart before the horse. It should have been the worker before the ZiG beast. You care more about serving the ZiG than humans who should be served by the ZiG. Mr Mutuvi, you're now a prisoner of this monster which someone is forcing on you at gunpoint. You know better than this lunacy.

As usual the ungrateful horde that comprise the civil service have started to mourn and whinge even after such a generous pay rise ...As usual they activate their dormant lemming gene and start heading for the nearest cliff..Civil servants are already earning way more than they deserve yet they do not seem to appreciate that fact ..It is no secret that what these civil servants want is illegal regime change and a return to white rule.... In my humble opinion they can all go and hug a cactus.... Erudite out

Well some civil servants are not very efficient especially those who work in government departments but that is mainly because of their corrupt bosses. Their incompetence and plundering of state resources influences and fans the infamous flames of rudeness and laziness attitudes of some of the civil servants.

No going back on ZiG. A country cannot grow without its own currency. Ramabai makabata ipapo President ED.

Corruptmore Looto · 6 months ago

Fake Zanu propaganda. People need to know that a weak useless currency like the ZiG isn't any better to not having a sovereign currency. A currency isn't really that important, things like economic liberalisation, investment, sound governance and human development are much more important than a currency especially so if it's a weak useless currency. Panama has been using the US since the early 20th century but it is one of the Americas most stable and sound economies, don't you be fooled by Zanu propaganda that having a currency will make our problems go away

I will do a case study about pabama, yesterday I was watching a documentary about Venezuela haa same ne Zimbabwe, having a stable currency whose value is not affected by the incompétence of the government is better

You are not a civil servant, you are not expected to understand!... we can't thank a salary increase that is insufficient to cater for our needs.
