TREASURY is expected to adjust civil servants’ salaries in line with the prevailing economic environment in the coming days, a Cabinet minister said yesterday.

In an interview, Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare Minister Dr Sekai Nzenza said President Mnangagwa was concerned about the livelihoods of civil servants hence Government’s intervention.

Salaries of most workers in the country have been eroded by wanton increases in the prices of goods and services.

Nzenza said the Minister of Finance and Economic Development Professor Mthuli Ncube will announce a civil servants salary hike in the coming days.

“At this stage the Minister of Finance is looking at it (salary increase). He would be making an announcement in the next few days. I can’t give you the exact date because he has to do the figures. But he would be looking at that in light of the current situation. We know it’s not easy; this is why we are looking at the cost of living adjustment,” said Minister Nzenza.State media
