The Government is set to table a fresh salary increment proposal when it meets civil servants’ representatives on Wednesday, a cabinet minister has said.

In an interview with The Sunday Mail, Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare Minister Paul Mavima said the Government will gradually raise civil servants’ salaries to a point where they match their previous earnings in United States dollars. Said Mavima:

> We have our own position, but obviously, I cannot disclose it to the press before we meet with the employees.

> Whatever the outcome, we shall go back to Cabinet where the issue will be discussed. As the employer, we have the best interests of the civil servants at heart.

> We have always said that we are committed to their welfare as well as meeting their request for salaries to match the money they used to earn in US dollars.

> But it’s a gradual process and considering the progress we have made as well as exchange rate stability; this is the year to consolidate on that progress.

> We are meeting them (civil servants) on Wednesday and we will listen to what they want from us.

> After the deliberations with the unions, we will then present the matter to Cabinet and pick it up from there.

Zimbabwe Confederation of Public Sector Trade Unions (ZCPSTU) secretary-general David Dzatsunga also confirmed that they will meet Government representatives this week. He said:

> We are meeting on Wednesday and that’s when we will be able to tell you the outcome.

> But our concerns are genuine and they are well documented, we hope the Government will hear our case.
