According to the memo, the association has, “accordingly, given the government up to Saturday, 29 February 2020 to ensure full implementation (including payment of all occasioned arrears) of the CoS document at both the national and facility levels. If any default on the part of the government occurs vis-à-vis the stated deadline, there shall be immediate withdrawal of all services by members in all the facilities”.
