According to the officers, after conducting the exercise for over three months now, the Electoral Commission is yet to inform them when exactly they will be paid.
Some of the officials who spoke to Honestynewsgh on this matter lamented on the delay and urged the EC to immediately begin payment of their allowance to enable them to cater for their families as we are in hard times.
” Our commitment to this national assignment was strong and we discharged this duty to the best of our ability. For nearly four months now, none of us knows when we are going to be paid as the EC is yet to communicate to us. A good worker deserves to be paid and payment must be timely. We need our monies now, the EC is dragging it’s feet ” one official said.
