Speaking at the media briefing in Lusaka today, UNZAPROSU President Likezo Pumulo said the protest will continue until the government pays all the outstanding benefits in full.
Mr Pumulo K206 million kwacha that the government has released is not enough saying it is only going up to 2016.
"We appreciate that government has release K206 million as partial payment towards the K1.385 billion but it is not enough to address the current situation,"He said.
He has since urged the government to source around for more funds so as to clear their outstanding payments.
