A Zimbabwean lecturer, Dr Matthew Chiwaridzo, has declined an officer as a Senior Lecturer at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in Kumasi.
Dr Chiwaridzo was to work in the Department of
Physiotherapy and Sport Sciences but rejected the offer over what he said was
poor salary.
He was to be paid an annual salary of GHS55, 104.05 (USD
760.00 per month).
However, in his letter of decline dated August 20, 2021,
and addressed to the school, he stated he currently earns (ZWL 1, 293, 708.00
per annum) at the University of Zimbabwe.
This, he said, cannot be compared to the new offer, hence
the decline.
“Please note that I am currently in the Senior Lecturer
grade (ZWL 1, 561, 248.00 per annum) at the University of Zimbabwe.
“By virtue of having a doctorate degree specialising in
Physiotherapy, 35 publications, two awarded grant projects and seven years of
satisfactory teaching, industrialisation, innovation and research experience.
It is for this economical reason that I decline the offer of employment at
KNUST and will want to explore other opportunities,” part of the letter read.
