“President Museveni has told me to meet the UNATU leaders and harmonize the situation. I will meet them on Wednesday, and if they fail to act we shall see the next step,’’ she asserted.

The leader of government businesses further said that the government doesn’t have money to increase salaries for all civil servants at the same time.
