The State has failed to sign the Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) that contains the schedule of payments agreed to by both parties for the settlement of the remaining over K120 million in rental arrears owed to the Members of Nambawan Super before the end of the year.
This has forced Nambawan Super Limited (NSL) to resort to locking out the State tenancies occupying NSL owned properties.
When the partial payment of K52 million for the outstanding rentals was made by the State last week, NSL made it very clear that this would be followed by the parties agreeing to a payment plan for the State to settle the remaining balance by Tuesday 4 October.
The lockouts are now in effect and will remain until the MoA is signed.
The NSL owned offices will be opened after the payment plan is agreed upon, however, NSL will not hesitate to conduct further lockouts if the agreed payments do not occur as scheduled.
We sympathise with our Members that will have their work disrupted by this lockout and anyone that will experience service delays and business disruptions during this time.
