The Joint Finance Committee has announced that the salaries of all employees, including support staff, will not be disbursed. This decision affects remuneration for the 19 days worked in December.

According to the committee, the inability to issue payments is attributable to budgetary constraints and ongoing financial assessments. This situation has raised concerns among employees who rely on their salaries for daily expenses.

Local stakeholders are urging the committee to provide clarity on the timeline for addressing these financial issues and are advocating for measures to ensure timely payment to all staff members in the future. Further information is expected to be released in the coming days regarding potential resolutions.
