WIN FOR PUBLIC SERVANTS
Respect, Reward, Results
For too long, our public servants have worked in underfunded systems without recognition or reward. Many earn less than a liveable wage, and career growth often depends on favouritism, as opposed to merit. WIN will transform this system through:
Merit-Based Promotions - Transparent performance review systems.
Livable Wages - Wage increase tied to inflation and workload; reducing the need for second jobs.
Reduction in PAYE from 25% to 20% - Giving more disposable income to families.
Path to Home Ownership - Affordable lands, special loans for teachers, nurses, and members of the discipline services.
Pension Reform - Faster processing, access to retirement funds, and increased monthly benefits.
Public Sector Biannual Retreats - A programme that is intended to mobilise our shared workforce in ministries by energising, empowering, and elevating them.
50% Salary Increase - Adjusted over time to reflect real economic needs.
Training and Upskilling - Paid professional development, online learning, and scholarships.
