Bulawayo residents are abhorred by the increase of ministers’ salaries at a time when there are other urgent matters that depend on government financial assistance. Residents said that the fact that ministers’ salaries are pegged at $2 300 while other civil servants earn less than $200 is a clear indicator of how government ministers are paying attention to personal gains at the expense of citizens’ grievances. The salary increase does not only reflect that the government is capable of equitably improving civil servants’ salaries but can also inject the money on schemes that can also benefit vulnerable community members through social welfare and other similar social security systems.
