Govt speaks on civil servant bonuses

Government says it does not have money to pay civil servants their bonuses but will next week hold a crunch meeting to map the way forward.

Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare Minister Prisca Mupfumira says she will meet with Minister of Finance and Economic Development Patrick Chinamasa and Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe governor Dr John Mangudya on the 25th of this month , to discuss the way forward. She added that she will also meet the Apex council, the umbrella body that represents all civil servants to discuss the same issue.

This comes as government has released pay dates for January salaries but has remained silent on the dates for bonuses.
