Dokora joined a handful of rich fat-purse Mugabe cronies to claim that there is no stay away on Wednesday. His claims contradicted the situation on the ground which saw many schools closing down early morning 24 hours before on Tuesday as tens of thousands of schools kids were sent home by school heads.
At a time when teachers have not been paid their salaries, Dokora has been caught in a serious indictement after blowing millions of dollars on an IT software program whose money could have been used to pay teachers their salaries among a host of other uses.
Dokora yesterday said normal teaching and learning would continue as usual. He pleaded with parents, line managers, teachers and valued stakeholders to ignore the stay away calls, which are Zimbabwe’s first historic non partisan self driven feats, created by the government through its manybabuses of the citizenry.
“The Government has affirmed that the education sector will be paid on July 7,” he said.
“The ministry wishes to reassure all our teachers and learners that necessary measures have been taken to ensure normalcy in all our learning institutions. As a ministry, we would like to reaffirm our commitment to offer quality education for the socio-transformation and any disruption to the learning calendar is counter-productive.”
Meanwhile Dokora was backed by Agriculture Minister, Joseph Made who added saying “what’s important is that the Government is fully aware of people who want to take advantage of the civil servants in terms of the position of the payment of their salaries as announced by the Minister of Finance and Development (Patrick Chinamasa).
“The Ministry of Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare through its acting Minister (Supa Mandiwanzira) has categorically stated that it is negotiating with civil services representatives. The appeal by the Government is that no one should be taken advantage of. They should come to work as usual knowing that the Government is seized with the issue of their salaries.”
