The Civil Servants and Allied Workers Union of Zambia has appealed to the Ministry of Finance to fund government departments that are operating without adequate resources forcing civil servants to merely report for work without doing anything.
And Union president Davy Chiyobe tells Money FM in an interview that the Union does not expect any proposal of a salary increment to civil servants in the 2020 national budget.
Mr. Chiyobe explains that the recent salary negotiations that resulted in the awarding of the 4 percent to public service workers will expire in the mid of 2020.
He adds that civil servants have become unproductive as a result of lack of funding to buy issues such as stationery to aid their operations in a number of districts across Zambia.
