Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>NATIONAL Housing Enterprise (NHE) chief executive officer Gisbertus Mukulu says the 7% pay hike the parastatal’s employees are pushing for is not viable under current economic conditions.<\/p>\n

At least 110 NHE employees have been on a nationwide strike since Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cNHE staff members are still gainfully employed with full benefits despite the trying conditions prevalent in our country.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s important to note that nothing positive can come out of a strike,\u201d Mukulu says.<\/p>\n

Mukulu says should the strike continue in its current form, it would worsen the company’s financial position.<\/p>\n

He says the company will not be able to pay salaries or related overheads in the current environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs management, we remain committed and open to finding solutions to NHE challenges.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are currently seized with finding funds that will ensure the sustainability of the organisation to be deemed a going concern.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndustrial action at this junction linked to wage increase demands won’t solve our challenges,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

NHE spokesperson Tuafi Shafombabi says the company will apply the no-work no-pay rule to the striking employees.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe nationwide strike will disrupt and negatively affect the institution,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Some of the protesters on Monday said the strike is not only about a salary increment, but also about corporate governance.<\/p>\n

\u201cEmployees are being victimised, and positions are being given to people who do not have qualifications.<\/p>\n

\u201cOvertime is being paid to non-performers, and requirements for positions are being relaxed to fit individuals. The house is rotten,\u201d one of the workers, Virginia Tjitemisa, said.<\/p>\n

NHE workers have been demanding a salary increase of 7%, and that the board is guided by the laws of corporate governance.<\/p>\n
