In the letter, the workers have complained about not being paid for seven months since January to July 2022 and the Management have not yet communicated with them about their payments.

The workers also mentioned about the CEO dismissing a meeting that the workers organized.

“We agree that we have not fulfill our promise as we agreed in the first place about paying the workers every month, which is making other workers leave the system. We cannot resolve the issue through media but, we can only solve it in-house and the issue will be solve immediately,” said the Chief Executive Officer Wezzie Ngalamira.
