6 months unpaid salaries as Mugabe watches.
The corruption ridden Public Service Medical Aid Society (PSMAS) doctors have hit Robert Mugabe’s administration going on strike over 6 months unpaid salaries.
The strike on Monday left the PSMAS hospitals in Harare paralysed with patients struggling for their lives.
The striking doctors said PSMAS management were rather threatening them with dismissal whenever they tried to engage with them over their dues.
They (doctors) say the parastatal’s senior management are busy awarding themselves hefty salaries and buying luxurious cars at the expense of the struggling doctors and patients the latter who are failing to get medical assistance.
The striking doctors wrote a letter to the PSMAS management before the job action when they requested for a meeting.
“We have collectively decided that we cannot continue to work in the absence of payment for work from previous months,”
“We have made previous communication to this matter and have been promised payments which until now have not materialized and any move towards payment of our salaries will promptly encourage us to get back to work as zealously as we have always done”.
The latest move is a blow to Robert Mugabe’s credibility as the 91 year old prepares for upcoming 2018 elections at a time when his party is battling to survive under factionalism.
