Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Muchinga Province Mpika Constituency Member of Parliament Francis Kapyanga says that the situation of TAZARA workers salary arrears is still current, pressing and unattended to.<\/p>\n

Hon Kapyanga says that this month ticks the calendar to mark 5 months of unpaid salaries for these hard-working citizens. While this in itself is something that shouldn\u2019t happen in a society that respects another person\u2019s hard work, it has become a norm for TAZARA workers and my mind fails to be at ease at the thought of this ordeal.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m appealing to the government of Zambia, a government that was built on the promise of meaningful economic growth and service to all to pay TAZARA workers their 5 months salary arrears \u2013 no economy grows on the foundation of unpaid salaries to an active labour force,\u201d He said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat should be coming to our minds every time I bring the TAZARA issue on our tables is \u201cwhat do these people eat, how do they take their children to universities and colleges?\u201d In a time as this, when the cost of living is skyrocketing, these people actually pay for transport to get to work which has significantly increased and they still don\u2019t get paid. \u201c<\/p>\n

The Mpika Constituency MP said that One of the things that should be done going forward is to act on the resolutions made by the TAZARA council of Ministers on 19th October 2019 to finance the recapitalization of TAZARA by the two governments which includes the putting of TAZARA workers on the government payroll.<\/p>\n

He said the resolution was acted upon promptly by the Tanzanian government and something we keep staring right into the eyes and do nothing about. \u201cI have since taken a formal complaint to the Ministry of Transport and Logistics making an urgent and heartfelt request to the minister in charge to look into this matter and bring it to halt with a lasting and sustainable solution.\u201d He added<\/p>\n

\u201cMy commitment to the workers of TAZARA is complete with regard to every detail, it is not superficial or partial and this is why for me, paying them today is not enough but knowing that they will be paid every month for all the years each one of them shall dedicate themselves to the industry.<\/p>\n
