67 Staff of Central University College sacked via text message

Over 67 staff members of the Central University College have been dismissed in what management describes as a general staff cost-cutting.

The Central University College staff were sacked via text messages and given three-days to vacate their positions, a development which did not go well with a fragment of them who have worked with the institution for almost nineteen years.

According to report, the affected staff from various departments at Mataheko and Miotso campuses of the Central University College who are members of the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC), were given one month salary prior to their dismissal.

In a WhatsApp group chat, a Senior Staff Member of the University described the treatment meted out to the staff as inhumane considering how many of them toiled to put the institution at its current state wondering who will be happy being fired via a text message and asked to vacate post within three days.

According to the Senior Staff Member of the University at the close of last year, most staff contracted loans which were duly approved by management only to be dismissed in January wondering how they will be able to settle their financial obligation to their respective banks

“Pastor Charles, some of us are not happy that you are saying truly CU [Central University] has done her part for some of us and still doing to others. If you think since CU [Central University] has done her part, this is not the time to make such a comment…this is hypocrisy if you ask me. People are aggrieved… if you think you are a pastor and a child of God what you need to do is when they started sacking people you should have gone to represent people by telling them that CU [Central University] has done its part but people have also done their part”, an angry staff in a voice note disclosed in a group.

The Senior Staff Member said most staff sacrificed for the University and were cohabiting with snakes yet been treated with disdain describing their dismissals as harsh wondering why they have failed to take their toil into consideration.
