Govt defers public service salary increment

The decision as explained by the Minister for Presidential Affairs, Governance and Public Administration, Kabo Morwaeng, was brought about by the challenges presented by the Covid-19 pandemic, which continues to cause economic uncertainty across the globe.

Government had initially made a commitment to increase the salaries of public servants by 10% and 6% for public officers on scales A and B and C and D respectively, in the current financial year.
