Thursday, January 21, 2016

Employees in the Ministry of Agriculture have taken their employer to court over a dispute that arose from unpaid salaries following a directive order that was issued in 2005 and settlement agreement reached between the two parties in 2012.

The 17 applicants appeared before the Industrial Court Judge, Isaac Bahuma, arguing that the ministry failed to honour a settlement agreement that was entered into by the parties on July 26, 2012.
