Serikali imebainisha kuwa lengo la ongezeko hilo ni kurahisisha maisha kwa Wananchi ili wamudu gharama mbalimbali kutokana na mfumuko wa bei ambao umeongezeka kwa 92.3%.

Inamaanisha kuwa bei katika maduka imepanda kwa karibu kiwango sawa na nyongeza ya mishahara.

Ongezeko la mshahara limeanza Machi 1, 2023 katika Sekta ya Ulinzi na kuanzia Aprili 1, 2023 litahusisha idara nyingine zote za umma.

Zimbabwe to offer public servants 100% pay rise

Zimbabwe has awarded civil servants a 100% salary increment as part of efforts to improve their welfare, the government-owned daily The Herald reports.

However, the increase just about keeps pace with Zimbabwe’s high inflation, which stands at 92.3% according to latest figures. This means the prices in shops are rising at almost the same rate as the salary hike.

The pay review includes an improved $250 Covid-19 allowance for all civil servants and a $80 monthly allowance for teachers, a statement from the finance ministry is quoted as saying.

The review takes effect from 1 March in the security sector and 1 April for the rest of the civil service, a finance ministry official is quoted as saying.

A representative of the teachers' union interviewed by the newspaper said the review was "exciting" but said the increment of Covid-19 allowance was still low.

A nurses association representative said more talks were scheduled on Wednesday over the allowance.

In 2020, the Zimbabwean government said it could not afford to increase salaries during a doctors' strike that lasted more than four months, paralysing the country's healthcare sector.
