Harare ‑ The government of Zimbabwe on Wednesday awarded a $129 local currency cost of living adjustment to civil servants, as the economy continues to crumble amid inflation."The cost of living adjustment of $400 million would be effected across the board for all members of the public service with effect from April 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019,” the National Joint Negotiating Council said in an agreement following a meeting held in Harare.
“Negotiations would continue to consider sector-specific allowances and other non-monetary incentives,” the agreement read. The government of Zimbabwe has been battling to contain civil servants who are continuously finding it hard to survive after their salaries were eroded by inflation.
