Eastern PS, Chanda Kasolo to discipline any civil servant, who will protest over May salaries.

Eastern Province Permanent Secretary, Chanda Kasolo has warned that he will not tolerate hooliganism from civil servants over May salaries.
Mr. Kasolo says that he will not hesitate to discipline civil servants that want to resort to protests because of government’s alleged delay to pay them May salaries.
Speaking to Breeze News, Mr. Kasolo maintained that according to government guidelines, the last day for paying salaries is the last date of the month.
He says that civil servants should not misinterpret governments’ goodwill to pay salaries early in previous months.
The permanent secretary wondered why civil servants who are supposed to be paid at the end of the month did not complain when government started paying salaries early.
Mr. Kasolo challenged civil servants to concentrate on their work and ensure that people in Eastern Province get a good service.
Yesterday Health Workers Union of Zambia Provincial Chairperson, Ortan Kaluba warned that the workers would resort to industrial action if government did not explain properly why the May salaries had delayed.
