Twenty-two of the teachers who are from the Nsaba Presby Senior High School arrived at the  premises of the CAGD around 6am after realising that their September salaries had not been paid them.

Speaking on Citi FM, the Senior House Master of the Nsaba Presby Senior High School, Mr Robert Enison said, “We called to find out and they said we are unknown teachers. So we decided to come here to tell them that we are not ghosts, we are human beings. In a week’s time, we will send someone over to verify."
