Editor - For the first time in the history of this country, January 2012 is the month civil servants have gone without a salary increment.
The Zimbabwe Revenue Authority is claiming to have surpassed its target for the previous year. Civil servants are getting far below the poverty datum line.
To add insult to injury, apart from the incentives demanded by teachers, the government has approved over 60 percent increments for school fees. Rentals have gone up by 65 percent.
The Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority increased its tariffs by 31 percent yet nothing has been done to improve salaries of public workers whose living standards have gone down.
The days when employment brought enjoyment are over. The powers-that-be should look into their plight as this has a negative effect on the future generations.
We are creating an environment conducive to corruption, that is, corrupt judges, police officers, teachers, nurses to name just a few public workers.
Lovemore Andrew Magaso,
Zengeza
