Minister agrees to meet civil servants
Harare Bureau
THE Minister of Public Service has finally agreed to meet civil servants’ unions and give them an update on their salaries and working conditions.
The Minister has been avoiding the workers for the whole of last year arguing the Apex Council — a body that represents Government employees — was not properly constituted.
In a letter addressed to the civil servants’ union leaders, Minister Lucia Matibenga said she would meet the workers next Thursday.
“I acknowledge receipt of your letter dated 16 January 2013, in which you are requesting for a consultative meeting with me on 22 Tuesday January, 2013.
“Please be advised that I will be occupied with Cabinet business on the proposed date. I will be able to meet with you on Thursday 24 January 2013 at Kaguvi boardroom at 2:40pm,” reads the letter.
