Malawi govt fails to pay newly recruited nurses
Some 33 newly recruited nurses and midwifery technicians at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital in Blantyre have gone for three months without pay.
One of the nurses said some of them are now on go slow at the busy referral hospital, saying they were living a miserable life as they are unable to buy food, pay rent and buy basic things in life including pay transport to and from the hospital.
The nurse said each time they reminded the hospital management the answer was that there was no money.
She said their colleagues at Mzuzu and Zomba central hospitals, who were recruited the same time get their salaries on time.
Hospital administrator Themba Mhango when called simply said he did not know the issue.
Ministry of Health spokesperson Joshua Malango said the newly recruited nurses were supposed to be integrated on integrated financial management system (ifmis) but this exercise was delayed due to technical reasons.
He said the nurses would be paid their July pay cheque along with arrears for the other two months.

Even if the go for a year without a pay its their fault are they not the same people who voted for this government
How do you know?
Strange we never hear of MPs not receiving their salaries at the end of the month. It is disgraceful that nurses, teachers and other civil servants are often denied their salaries, sometimes for several months. If such employees of the state fail in their duties, they are dismissed, and yet the state often does not honour its part of the contract and without any consequences. A contract is a two-way commitment – a fair day’s/month’s work for a fair day’s/month’s pay.
SHAME!!!! it is a sad story Malawians are hearing.This supports the narrations countrywise,that corruption is endemic and heartbreaking in the country.Why would the government shamelessly fail to pay its citizens their salaries while,themselves freely take government funds for their own interests.Malawians,your so-called government has gone too far to contemplate.Recentry,Muthalika has been accused of stealing MK145 million while the newly recruited nurses and their immediate families are starving.Muthalika has turned our country into man-eat-man society,this is incredibly brutal and inhuman for the President of the nation to treat his voters in that way.Malawians,this is the result of embracing leaders who lack historical back-ground. of their leadership.Few decades ago,we did that to Banda and we saw what he did to us.As it that was not enough,we did that to Bingu Wa Muthalika and we saw what he did to us and finally,we have seen that with Peter Muthalika and if that is not enough,we are seeing the movements of S.Mia and his wife who both are not Malawians and Africans trying to hoodwink some fools for their own interests.The Mias,have hidden agendas in our country and it would if he wins in the 2019 elections,make us Malawians fools and morons to be led by an Arab Muslim and we shall loose our identity in Africa. Mind you brothers and sisters,no country in Sub-Saharan Africa will ever respect us anymore.Afterall,MCP is a rotten party with much blood in its hands.In order to establish the government of the people and for the people,you will have to ignore this obnoxious Arab intruder.
What is the use of mentioning Mia and his family here?
