In the next 6 to 9 months, the coalition government will holistically review the civil service remuneration and pending review the salary structure of the civil service will be readjusted to be commensurate with the work the civil servants are doing for the nation.

Finance Minister, Professor Biman Prasad says the coalition government will also review the current minimum wage rate in the next financial year as they want the workers to receive a fair and just living wage through a proper consultative process.

He says they are working together with the workers representatives to review the overall pay and benefits of the civil servants.

Professor Prasad says they are working together with the workers representatives to review the overall pay and benefits of the civil servants.

They know this has not been done for almost 5 years and their hardworking civil servants, teachers, police and medical professionals have not received a pay rise for some time.

He says the coalition government as promised, restored the tripartite arrangement that they had for many years and they will use this to ensure the rights of workers are respected through dialogue and consultation with government and employers.

Professor Prasad further says government is the largest employer in the country employing over 35,000 civil servants and as the largest employer, they are committed to looking after the welfare of the people.
