Secretary of the Public Services’ Association (PSA) Nixon Callender has estimated the crowd at today’s protest as 15,000 public officers. Watson Duke, the PSA’s president has labelled today’s demonstration as a success in terms of the support from public officers. Today’s march may also be labelled a success in another way as Duke said his meeting with the Chief Personnel Officer (CPO) today may change the government’s proposal of a one per cent salary increase. The CPO’s office today announced it will be "reviewing" the proposed increase. A new figure has not been announced as yet. The PSA is seeking a 15 per cent increase.
