Rwanda: Labour Union Appeals for Pay Rise Amid High Cost of Living

, an issue that must be addressed by raising wages and tax-free income, the Rwanda Workers' Trade Union Confederation has appealed.

Up to this date, the labour union observed, the issue of skyrocketing commodity prices and cost of living has not been solved yet.in Rwanda makes many workers uncomfortable because their wages are not in line with the current market prices, making them fall short of decent living standards, as a result.

"Based on the average living wages of workers in Rwanda, especially those working in the informal economy sector, we again request the government to reconsider, yet a step further up, the taxable income ceiling from the current Rwf60,000 to at least Rwf100,000 to enable workers from within this wage category to contend with the rising market prices," CESTRAR proposed.There was a problem processing your submission.
