He further alleged that this showed them that all the items listed on the budget are a priority to government but not the salary reviews.<\/p>\n<p>He made it clear that there will be a need for them to lock their heads and discuss a way forward since government has made its stance known that there will be no salary review in this financial year.<\/p>\n<p>He urged civil servants to wait for an update from the PSAs regarding a way forward.<br \/>\nThis follows that the GNT was supposed to return with a response from its principals in the JNF.<\/p>\n<p>Three weeks ago, the GNT requested the public sector associations (PSAs) to consult their principals regarding the demand being tabled by the PSAs on behalf of civil servants.<\/p>\n<p>The PSAs represents about 45 000 civil servants and these are affiliated to: the Swaziland Democratic Nurses Union (SWADNU), the Swaziland National Association of Teachers (SNAT), the National Public Service and Allied Workers Union (NAPSAWU) and the Swaziland National Association of Government Accounting Personnel (SNAGAP).<\/p>\n<p>It is on record that the PSAs had said, given that it was now impossible to implement the salary review in the financial year that ended last Thursday, they wanted it to be in the 2022\/23 financial year. It was after that demand that government requested them to consult their principals.<\/p>\n<p>The PSAs secretariat said they were expecting the salary review to be implemented in the financial year that begun last Friday but government has since stated that such will not be feasible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/eswatini\">Eswatini<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Eswatini.
