United Party for National Development (UPND) Spokesperson has alleged that the Movement for Multi-party Democracy (MMD) government diverted the May salary for civil servants to Mufumbwe and Milanzi by-election.

Charles Kakoma told Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation (ZNBC) on Wednesday that he had information that civil servants would get their salary on 15th May because government diverted for by-elections.

Mr. Kakoma said the situation has resulted into starvation among civil servants.

He said despite diverting their money to Mufumbwe by-election, the MMD lost the seat that it previously held to the UPND/PF pact.

However, Works and Supply Minister Mike Mulongoti said the civil servants salaries have been delayed because the accountants failed to do their job on time adding that it was not true that they would get their salaries on 15th May.
