2 On leave allowance for 8 yrs ..*

Government directed the commissioner for finance to fashion out a way of paying every month along with our salary…another scam

Labour rejected it, demand for immediate payment of Outstanding years.

3 On 21months co operatives deductions.

Government offers 1.5bn out 68.3bn owed,this will only take care of 3months

Labour rejected it want at least 15months payment.

4 Other demand like gross salary is yet to, be looked into when commissioner for finance bring out a prepared MOU for the labour to sign and call off the strike

5, and they should address the press.

Labour refused to signed and also didn’t agree to address any press conference,it was at this point that they withheld labour leaders inside and didn’t allow them to go outside until those waiting outside started singing and the noise got inside and they were eventually released.

please let us pray for all our labour leaders may God continue to guide and protect them
