What sins could our lecturers have committed that they deserved to be punished with starvation?
The saga of the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS) which is the major factor that makes the government continue starving the lecturers supposed to be lifted for now.
COVID-19 is here, the government ordered the closure of all institutions and the on going negotiations for solving the issue of the (IPPIS) has been suspended.
The professors, doctors and other academists of the Universities are not cared for despite the occurrence of the Pandemic and the hardship that partnered it.
Two months salary, they haven’t received, how would they go about putting food on their table? How would they cater for their ow family? There is lockdown here and there and no enough palliative measures is put in place.
I wonder what they will be surviving with, they get stipends as salary yet, the government refused to pay.
However, I might not decipher the nitty-gritty of the duel between Government and ASUU, but I’m just trying to be humane and I’m urging the government to be humane as well.
On a final note, the government should put aside what the matter is and consider paying the salaries of the ASUU members. It would be a disaster to add HUNGVID-20 to COVID-19.
