NEW: Government to meet on civil servants’ welfare – Mavima

Government will convene the National Joint Negotiating Council (NJNC) meeting to review conditions of service for civil servants once consultations taking place within its structures are complete, a Cabinet Minister has said.

In an interview with New Ziana on Wednesday, Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare Minister Professor Paul Mavima said Government was already working on a framework, with the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development leading consultations regarding reviews of civil servants’ salaries.

“So, that consultation is taking place.

“It might take about a week or so, but once we have that framework and clear indicators of what is possible from Government’s side, we then convene the NJNC, which will be a discussion between the representatives of the workers and the Government team,” he said. – New Ziana
