Govt To Increase Civil Servants Wages As Lungu Lifts Wage Freeze With Immediate Effect
President Chagwa Lungu lifts the wage freeze with immediate effect and directs minister of labour Hon Fackson Shamenda to start negotiations with the unions.
President Lungu, in power for the last 90 days has seen his popularity ratings and public approval sour to greater heights with the way in which he has handled the Presidency.
The wage freeze had become one of the most controversial policy pronouncements by the PF since they swept to power in 2011, often drawing public resentment from the public.
Political observers say he is widely expected to secure a second term when Zambia goes to the polls in less than 17 months.

We black pipo used to pray to our own African Gods; be it the SUN/MOON/DARKNESS etc. It was until the whiteman came along and introduced the Bible and his “white Jesus”. He has succeeded in changing our cultures, names, dress-code etc, and even our way of life. Those whitemen in Anglican/Catholic/Baptist attire used to come into our congregations with ’empty plates’. At the end of the so-called prayers, the plates with full of cash went straight into their whiteman’s Bank. Centuries today, they have made Trillions of Dollars and have developed their Countries from our own sweat and toil”.
Today we still suffering because we blacks cannot ‘see’. Their white Banks can can only lend money to fellow whites for businesses including those that are bringing in ‘Pie – meats’…

Mr. Edgar Lungu the drunard is very desparate. He wants to win by all means. If it required him to undress in public to show his ,………… to pipo, he can do it.
Edgar just prepare yourself for Embassy Park next year not for state house mwaiche.

Long overdue. However, let’s hope for successful negotiations between the two parties.

@Hello Haters. C’mon man! Increments are always negotiated for. Lungu has just beaten the drag. This job/wage freeze had a span of 2 years. Lungu saw that negotiations start NOW so that workers get a railse as at Jan 2016. Meanwhile ninshi ka hakainde bapange cakutamba!

A government is bigger than u critics think.law makers,ministers,other high officials get a lot of money every month.not a single month have workers gone without a salary in the name of Govt has no money.Govt has money to pay the workers.the presdo doesn’t make such decisions without consultations.he knows what he is doing,he is the presdo.critics have nothing good.if there ar poor civil servants critics say govt doesn’t care about its workers,they increase salaries ati where does money come from?what do u want kanshi?let God bless those given the chance to govern do their Jo deligently.after all inreament is across the board,whether u voted for PF or not-bonse mukalasalula.u will not refuse the increament jst because u belong to another party other than PF.jst appreciate and give credit where it is due.yo time will come.God bless EL,God bless Zambia.one Zambia One Nation,One Edgar,One People,One Presdo.let’s continue Loving ichother.meanwhile, support the GRZ of the day.Viva PF,efintu.

Guys I thought we in the same shoes,when His Excellence said am Vision less he means he Visionary respects people’s visions,and put people’s views Earmarked for Developmentally implementation,am sure those of us who live in a third world are up to date with such sentiments,in ancient we regard this as a Proverb,to my surprise,short thinking mongrels blew it out of proportion,threw Tantrum and blew Trumpets out of ignorance,we won’t say much,we are working,to bring back the sold off industries. perpetuates will pay for bringing our Economy down,we will get our tax payers money back. thank God someone has already built a Hospital in new Kasama.M.O.H.!whpeeeww!!!!!!!!!!
