Dr Scott praised public service workers for their dedication to duty and urged them to continue exhibiting hard work for the benefit of the nation.
He said government is investing heavily in the education sector to have literate citizens.
The Vice-President said the country needs to have well-educated civil servants to steer the country to economic prosperity. He added that government is on track in its bid to revamp the agricultural sector.
Dr Scott said Government has a policy on increasing the number of farmers that will benefit from the Farmer Input Support Programme. Speaking at the same occasion, Zambia Congress of Trade Unions president Leonard Hikaumba said public service workers deserve a pat on the back for their dedicated service to the nation.
Mr Hikaumba said that civil servants are the engine of economic development in any country and that is why public service workers need to be remunerated handsomely.
He called on government to rescind its decision to freeze wage increments for public service workers in 2014 and 2015.
Mr Hikaumba said the freeze will create more problems and exacerbate poverty.
He advised government to find other means of raising funds instead of freezing wage increments. – ZANIS
