NMK staff face delayed salaries due to a one-month allocation deficit, contrary to usual early payments before financial year-end. Management blames the Treasury unfairly, ignoring former issues and staff suffering and urging public awareness.
Surprisingly, the National Museums has once again delayed employee salaries at the end of the fiscal year, something it has never done before.
Typically, the Treasury processes financial reports by paying salaries early, sometimes even in mid-June, during the final month of the financial year. NMK processed these reports and claimed to have paid salaries.
NMK is reportedly operating on a one-month allocation deficit, which is why there is a lack of salaries now.
Staff forwarded a memo to you, causing a delay for the April salaries. In a panic, they released the salaries and pledged never to publish another memo.
Management is keeping quiet about this one-month loss, with some blaming the Treasury or the State Department of arts and culture, which is a lie.
Please raise this issue and assist the NMK staff who are suffering, as all the blame has been placed on the former DG Mzalendo, while his cronies and helpers continue to work at HQ.
