Dar es Salaam. President Samia Suluhu Hassan has announced the reinstatement of the ...
annual salary increase for public service employees.Her announcement comes seven years
after the removal of the system of annual salary increase by the late John
Magufuli in 2016.
She told workers that good things
are coming without publicly announcing the increase.
Addressing the nation on
International Workers’ Day at Jamhuri Stadium in Morogoro, President Hassan
Samia also urged traders not to increase prices in their shops because of
salary increases.
"We are resuming annual salary
increments, which were initially frozen. We will restart this year and hope to
do the same moving forward," she said.
She added: I thought this year we
should return them to all employees, there are salary increases we are
preparing, and we will continue as we had been doing in the past.
On May 14, 2022 President Hassan
approved the proposed salary increase, including a minimum wage for public
servants by 23.3 percent, whereas Sh1.59 trillion was used to pay salaries for
the financial year of 2021/22.
The head of state has emphasized
that last year the government raised salaries by 23.3 percent, which not
everyone benefited from. The goal was to raise the minimum wage and a few
others, but a large number did not benefit.
"Including myself, employee
number one. But the other thing is that we increased the workers' allowances,
and the beneficiaries of this are the workers with high salaries who did not
benefit from the 23.3 percent salary increase. I know there are some
institutions that could not pay when we gave the allowances, the budgets had
already passed, so the harvest will come this year," she said.
