The staff of the national ministry of Justice on Tuesday staged a sit-down strike demanding payment of their three months’ bonus.
One of the protestors Jeremiah Loponya Peter told Bakhita Radio that the ministry was dodging and telling the staff inaccurate information for a long time.
He said the staff conducted several meetings with administrators who kept telling the staff that they would get their bonus after receiving salaries, but nothing materialized.
Mr Loponya said all staff decided not to work until the ministry pays their bonus.
Another demonstrator, Charles Lodu said the ministry promised to give the bonus since December 2013, but until now it failed to fulfil the pledge.
He said 2012/2013 budget ended without the resolution of the bonus and that protest would continue until they get their money.
The ministry administrators declined to comment when Bakhita Radio accessed them.
