Yei River County Information Inspector complained that many government employees were leaving their positions for private sectors or NGOs due to low salaries in public service.
Ephraim Jomo Michael said abandoning public service to look for highly paid jobs was not a national spirit because the positions would become vacant, Easter Radio reported.
He underscored that nationalism and patriotism were concerned with the love to develop the nation regardless of salaries.
Mr Jomo said it was time to rebuild the nation after the destruction caused by the war.
He encouraged the employees to keep working for the government to develop the nation despite low salaries.
