Malawi govt workers want ‘at least 50%’ pay hike
Malawi public workers battling with 24.50 percent inflation have maintained their demand for “at least 50 percent” pay hike to cover the rising cost of living in the cash-strapped southern African country.
Civil Servants’ Trade Union (CSTU) said General Secretary, Madalitso Njolomole the latest demand was justified.
The union leaders rejected the proposed 24 percent increment in the 2014/15 National Budget.
CSTU leaders argued that the 24.4 percent salary increment is not enough to serve a civil servant with basic necessities amidst increased costs of living in the country.
They asked government to increase the wage bill from the proposed K163 billion to K170 billion to cater for the lowest paid grades in the civil service who include teachers and police officers
“Our main query is that salaries of the Judiciary, Parliamentarians and we, the civil servants are processed through the same offices and we save the same Government so why then, should there be a difference in the amount of the money we receive,” reasoned Njolomole.
Teachers Union of Malawi (TUM) general secretary Denis Kalekeni disclosed that the unions wanted the lowest paid civil servant to get at least K85 000, which is equivalent to the salary of a driver in the Judiciary.
“Government had offered a percentage increment with which we disagreed and to which we counter offered an over 50 percent hike.
“We were thus, shocked when the Finance Minster brought out 24.4 percent in Parliament during presentation of the 2014/2015 National Budget,” said Kalekeni who added the hike was not even close to the minimum living wage as per findings of independent economic research experts.
“We are conscious of the economic problems our country is undergoing and the proposal we are offering will be enough to at least serve us with our basics without disturbing any monetary plans by Government,” further said Kalekeni.
It was however disclosed that the talks with the Government Negotiating Team (GNT) on salary harmonisation within the civil service were not yet concluded and that the dissatisfaction would be tabled at the final meeting.

Did u knw that Malawi government employed Health Surveillance Assistant under Grobal Funding in 2007 on Contract basis of 3 years, later the gvt told them dat permanent employed, yet without giving anything for the ended contract. And as of now if one dies the gvt refuse 2 giv anything 2 the remaining members of the family.
So amabugwe ask the government: (1) kodi ndalama za contract za anthuwa zinayenda bwanji?
(2) Nanga panopa akugwira ntchito ngati ndani?
I understand that these people have been asking for clarification from the ministry Health. But the Ministry people are just quite, why kuwapondereza anthu chonchi?
I know you. Why don’t demonstrate against the return of your horrible CEO?

Tingonyanyalapo ntchito apa kungolankhula sikutithandiza ata pang’ono.
i agree with you civil servants go ahead strike
The problem with you Malawians is that you are like NATO (No Action Talk Only). Stop complaining with your arses stitting pwiii and expect things to change. That is hallucinating.
Go out in the streets and demonstrate your anger and frustrations. The ONLY language governments all over the world understand is DEMONSTRATIONS. You can burn your arses by talking but nothing will happen. If they have billions to compasate Mulli, and all those govt fired unceremoniacly, it sure like APM is the president of Malawi, have money to pay civil servants.
STOP THIS CULTURE OF NATO. Go out there in the streets and demostrate through civil disobedience. Govts fall very easily through this strategy. DPP is weak and vulnrable now. Sustained demos, even for a week, can effectively paralyse the govt, and all your concerns will be addressed.
Do not just sit there and expect donors to do what you as citizens ought to do. GO IN THE STREETS NOW!
I know you. Why don’t demonstrate against the return of your horrible CEO?
Komatu inu anthu andale ndi olamulira inu, musamati anthu akamalankhula za malipiro ndiye ndikumawawona ngati ndianthu opandukira boma ai. Tamvetserani bvuto liri ndi anthu awa bwinobwino.

Konga mutakhala inu mukulandira monga iwo, mungakwanitse?
Tsono ngati inu simukwanitsa iwo angathe bwanji? Inu ku tchalichi Mulungu amakuonani kuti muliko, baibulo ndikumawerenga kuti mkonde mzako monga iwe mwini. Tsono mwalephera kukonda ena?
Peter and Saulos Klaus are big time cheats. You two buffoons will have to fulfill what you had promised; now is the time otherwise we will feed you dogs’ poopoo.
Most of these people really do get low salries, no wonder it is causing a lot of theft in the country. Please make sure that they are well-paid. sibwino kut an uneducated person should 100,000 then munthu okuti amalimbikira ntchito apeze 20,000 per month!!! ayi!!

During campaign period, DPP promised people that they will raise salaries for civil servant by 50%. Why are they not fulfilling their promises? Tiyeni nawo.

Come to think of it ,the least paid civil servant takes home K28,000 per month,a graduate with bachelors degree or masters gets K79,000 and yet government expect them to deliver,how can you fight graft and corruption in such an environment,am not a civil servant but our office cleaner gets far much more than graduate civil servant,life is far much expensive now and i hope saulos is aware of that,.peanuts…shame
Ma civil servants munaba ndalama zambiri inu! Shupiti. Mubweze kaye Cash gate ija. Mwamangamanga ma mansion anu mu Shire, Guliver, 43, Dzenza Chitedze, 6miles pano muziti increament fotseki

Ndipo Tisamve the nonsense Yakuti Kulibe ndalama. This govt has just paid 2 Mulhakhos in the name of Mulli and Katopola huge sums of money and is prepared to subsdise loans for MPs and spend 7 billion kwacha on cement and iron sheets subsidy to 15000 people only.
Mind you that it is the same civil service which brought down amayi jb, does it make sense that at this time someone should be getting K37000 as salary???, on that money he should buy food, pay escom and water bills, pay house rent, pay school fees?….. and you expect corruption to end, think twice Mr president and your useless vice president who promised that he will take care of all our problems.

Please is it true JUDICIARY DRIVER gets home with K 85,000.00. Possibly his highest qualification being JCE or MSCE. He just pushes wheels of his vehicle in the streets, opening doors with a salute for his boss.
Teachers with DIPLOMAs and EXECUTIVE OFFICERS in the CIVIL SERVICE, their perks does not go to that amount. Yet the tax paid go to CONSOLIDATED BASKET, where all the revenue originate as WAGES.
THIS IS UNFAIR, TREAT US EQUALLY, QUALIFICATION, GRADE AS A MATTER OF FACT BE THE BENCHMARK.

The V P promised a good salary for all the civil servants during campaign period ,to an extent of calling the civil servants’s salaries as little change . Don’t leave them like that , they will get used to cheating the civil servants. Some of us we have tapes where V P was campaigning for better salaries for all the civil servants not one civil service Departiment only but he meant the whole civil service .
Kodi ndimayesa mumati Civil Servant amalandira change chanu bwana chaku msika.
ACHOSE NDALAMA KU CEMENT NDI MALATA AYIKE KUMA SALARIES APO BIII NTCHITO SIZIYENDA.
start demos. ironically the police will be in forefront firing teargas at you while you are fighting for their financial freedom here
Pay our teacher handsomely so that our children are should get better education. Its surprising that someone is blowing off K400 m yet his employers are crying over low and late payment. Let Chilima say something coz during campaign period he said civil were then getting ‘change’. Now that he’s on the throne let the civil servants get ‘real salares’.
Yes, I beg o agree on that one. Goods prices are up tht is fact, salaries are stagnant, not all civil servants get allowances thats another painfull fact, well the same lowest paid person cant afford transport or lunch to work. Ndathera pamenepa.
