The Cabinet notes dated, 11th<\/sup> December indicated,\u201cthat salaries and wages will begin to be paid on Monday, 16 December 2019, or at least one week prior to Christmas.\u201d<\/p>

The Prime Minister on his facebook post cautioned government workers to, \u201cexercise prudence with their spending since the next pay day will be January 31, 2020.\u201d<\/p>
