Malawi civil servants get another salary hike: 43 %
Barely six months after Malawi civil servants got a 61 percent salary hike last February, government has given the public workers another 43 percent salary increment.
Nyasa Times has learnt that following a meeting Civil Servants Trade Union (CSTU) and Government Negotiating Team (GNT) held on 17 June 2013, it was agreed that government walk its February talk in which it promised another salary hike this July.
According to our well-placed sources who attended the meeting at Green House in Area 43, Grade K civil servants will smile with a whooping 43 percent while those in Grade A will get a scanty 2 percent hike.

According to the minutes of the meeting the proposed salary increments are as follows:
Grade A to E: 2%
Grade F to I: 18%
Grade J: 21%
Grade L : 39%
Grade M: 20%
