Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Kitwe District Education Board Secretary (DEBS) Christopher Nyungila has called for the intervention of the District Commissioner\u2019s office to remove retired teachers that have been paid repatriation funds from government houses.<\/p>\n

Speaking in Kitwe today during a special Heads of Government departments meeting in Kitwe today, Mr. Nyungila reported that teachers that have been paid repatriation funds are resisting to move out of government houses. He explained that teachers are given 30 days to leave government houses once they are paid repatriation funds.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbout 98 percent of teachers\u2019 houses in Kitwe are occupied by retired teachers and families of deceased teachers, and all houses at Kitwe Boys and Helen Kaunda Secondary schools are occupied by retired teachers and families of deceased teachers that have been paid repatriation but they are resisting to leave government houses,\u201d He said.<\/p>\n

He explained that the aim of paying out retirees their benefits is to ensure that the government serves the money it is paying teachers on housing allowances.<\/p>\n

He noted that with the current situation the government will not serve on housing allowances because retired teachers are not giving room to serving teachers to move in government houses.<\/p>\n

Mr. Nyungila has since appealed to the district commissioner to help remove the retired teachers that have received their dues from government houses to allow serving teachers to move in.<\/p>\n

Recently the government released K3.4 million for payment of personal emoluments to teachers in Kitwe district. The funds were used to offset outstanding arrears in leave travel benefits, terminal benefits and repatriation for deceased and retired teachers.<\/p>\n
