Watch: Usifo argues salary increases need not wait for minimum-wage talks

A government can consider salary increases without waiting for another minimum-wage negotiation, Festus Usifo argues in this Channels Television clip. The broadcaster published the video on 28 October.

The distinction is useful in following a pay debate: discussion of a minimum wage concerns a wage floor, while an argument for higher salaries may concern a different decision. Usifo’s contribution is a position in that debate, not an announcement by Montage Africa that any new pay increase has been approved.

Watch the original interview extract for his explanation. The embedded production and the linked source remain attributed to Channels Television. Readers looking for an implemented pay change should consult the relevant employer or official announcement in addition to commentary about what should happen.
