Workers member of parliament Agnes Kunihira has warned the government that it will be difficult to persuade teachers with low qualifications in education to upgrade when there is a new policy in the Ministry of education on salary disparity.
She made the remarks while speaking at the unveiling of the new labor center  in Ntinda.
She said that the president should be advised that paying different salary to teachers is demoralizing teachers and dangerous to the economy.
Kunuhira said that some teachers have started applying for early retirement because of poor pay and discrimination by government.
She said that the government is also losing on the Pay AS You Earn tax from the casual workers because are not paid by their employers using a payroll due to the absence of a minimum wage law.
