The Director of Lakes Employees Justice Chamber Joseph Akot Mabor voiced concern over the delay of teachers’ salaries terming the act as gross violation.
He added that Araamwer Teachers’ National Institute in Rumbek did not get December and January salaries.
Mr Mabor assured the teachers that his office will take the matter with due seriousness.
He clarified that the national Government claims to be responsible for Rumbek National Secondary School.
For now the teachers can only expect that their voices will be heard and the salaries come to their pockets.
