He added that they are being owed four and a half months of salaries, COVID-19 allowance, and other entitlements by the government.
According to him, “Having persevered to render services, our salary has become an issue of concern. We are finding it difficult to meet up with our financial obligations.
“We are calling on the government to come up with solutions. It is not in our interest to embark on this strike but enough is enough.”
