APNU+AFC front bench-er Khemraj Ramjattan yesterday called for a 10% retroactive salary increase for public servants pending negotiations with the relevant agencies including the Guyana Public Service Union (GPSU).
Labelling the proposal as a “simple demand”, Ramjattan told the second day of the 2021 budget debate that it is in recognition of the hardships being faced during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I propose that there be a wage increase of 10 percent across the board retroactive to January pending the final negotiations with all stakeholders in Government and the GPSU and in the Public Service other unions,” Ramjattan said.
