The Ministry of Finance yesterday said it wished to categorically state that the salaries of public servants, and pensions, are guaranteed for the rest of the year.
In a statement, the Ministry said “We urge you to reject any rumours to the contrary. Salaries and pensions will be paid as scheduled for 2020.
“The Ministry is appalled at the insensitive and cowardly attempt by persons to incite public panic, at a time when we are grappling with national and global challenges. We urge that such persons be held accountable, and that they refrain from making incendiary and ill-informed statements. We invite you to seek out the Ministry with any questions that you may have, so that you can be appropriately inform-ed”.
The Ministry appealed to public servants to continue to observe all the relevant guidelines and instructions issued by the Department of Public Service, Heads of Agencies and the Ministry of Public Health.
