Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Nurses in Matabeleland North Province are yet to be paid their allowances for participating in the COVID-19 vaccination programme.<\/p>\n

Nurses who spoke to Southern Eye said they were promised US$120 at the interbank rate when the programme started last year but the Government has failed to honour its commitment. One of the affected nurses said:<\/p>\n

We were promised US$120 at the interbank rate, but nothing has been paid so far. Inflation is devaluing our money.<\/p>\n

The intensified COVID-19 campaign was carried out successfully but we have not been paid for months.<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe National Statistics Agency (ZimStat) enumerators were paid their money.<\/p>\n

This means that the Health ministry is sleeping on duty.<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe Nurses Association (ZINA) president Enock Dongo said nurses who contracted coronavirus are entitled to US$600 compensation, but they had not been paid. He added:<\/p>\n

The COVID-19 vaccination programmes were done nationally and currently, there is another vaccination campaign that has been ongoing for two weeks.<\/p>\n

The issue remains that the ministry should recognise its workforce.<\/p>\n

People who participated in the ZimStat census and the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) by-elections were paid their allowances after finishing their tasks, but the Health ministry takes its time to pay health workers.<\/p>\n

Ministry of Health and Childcare spokesperson Donald Mujiri referred all questions to the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development.<\/p>\n

Southern Eye<\/b><\/p>\n

reported that Finance ministry spokesperson Clive Mphambela asked questions in writing but had not responded to them by the time of going to print.<\/p>\n
