Increment Of Remuneration On Threat Not Possible
By KTM Metro Reporter
July 3, 2013: receiving the memorandum submitted by the eight civil servant trade unions, Minister for Finance Shanker Prasad Koirala made it clear to them that the salaries and other benefits to the civil servants would not be increased based on the threat, according to the news in ‘gorkhapatra’ of yesterday.
Civil servants have trade unions, and all of the trade unions are affiliated to one political party or another. They have threatened the government to go on strike if the government were not to increase their salaries.
However, Nepalis have to pay under-the-table or even over the counter to the civil servants supposed to deliver services sincerely for any service. For example, the reporter writing this news has been paying five hundred rupees every year to the emission-checking civil servants to get the emission-pass sticker for his car, no matter how well the car has been functioning.
The civil servant trade union leaders have demanded that the government should pay for the insurance of each civil servant for one million rupees against accident, and pay Rs 15,000 for the uniform to each civil servant.
Political leaders have been putting pressure on the government not to increase the salaries of the civil servants, according to the local media reports.
