Opposition United Party for National Development UPND President Hakainde Hichilema says the decision by the PF regime to suspend 74 striking Kabwe Municipal Council workers who were demanding for their 6 months salary arrears is uncalled for.

Mr. Hichilema says the inconsistencies of salaries by government for civil servants, public service employees and worse off the Council employees around the country has become a habit.

He has urged the Patriotic Front to pay all its workers on time to avoid industrial arrest that have that can ultimately affect the development of the country.
