Source: Civil servants set to get salary review next month – herald Rumbidzayi Zinyuke- Senior Health Reporter CIVIL servants have been advised to remain patient as the Government is set to review their salaries and improve working conditions next month. In a post on his X handle yesterday, Deputy Chief Secretary in the Office of the President and Cabinet responsible for Presidential Communications, Mr George Charamba, said the Government was fully aware of the economic challenges facing civil servants and is actively working on measures to cushion them. “Good tidings are coming both on the fuel front and salaries for civil servants,” he posted. “Government is fully aware of the pressures its workforce faces, particularly in the wake of disturbances in the Middle East. “A review of wages and salaries was due anyway; it is coming, certainly by this April.” The economy has generally been stable, with inflation under check. It is only fuel prices that have been adjusted twice in recent weeks in response to rising global energy prices sparked by the United States and Israel’s war against Iran.

However, to cushion the people, Government is considering adjusting some taxes and levies to ensure the wider economy is not hurt by the impact of fuel price increases. Government has taken steps that have brought inflation under control, a development economists credit to tighter fiscal management, improved revenue collection and stronger foreign‑exchange inflows. The economy is expected to grow by about 5 percent this year driven by agriculture, mining and tourism, among other sectors.
