MCHS lecturers’ strike ends

A strike at Malawi College of Health Sciences MCHS has been suspended following government assurance that it will improve the working conditions to be in tandem with other statutory corporations.

Confirming the development to radio Islam, Chairperson for staff welfare committee Abraham Gama said “officials from office of president and Cabinet met staff officials and agreed to align the salaries to those of other statutory corporations.”

Staff at MCHS downed tools on 13th August to force government to offer a 47 percent salary increment, pension funds remittance and align the salaries to those of other statutory corporations.
