While appearing on NBS TV Frontline show yesterday night, Government spokesperson Ofwono Opondo had a dig at all striking public servants. According to Opondo, government does not have that the money people usually assume.
“The government doesn’t pick money from trees. You can make noise about money MPs have got. Can that money pay Ugandans fairly and adequately? The government has found its way. The government is genuine, give it an opportunity. If you think we are useless, 2021 is coming,” Ofwono explained.
“Labour is a free will in Uganda. No one will be forced to be a doctor in a government facility,“he added.
The government mouth piece revealed that with the ongoing strikes, government is looking for an lasting solution through salary review commission .
