The Leadership of the House of Representatives has mandated the Ministry of Finance Development Planning to work closely with its Ways, Means, and Finance Committee in ensuring prompt payment of salaries to staffers of the Legislature before the week concludes.
During the 5th Day Leadership Meeting, House Speaker Cllr. J. Fonati Koffa emphasized the urgency of addressing the issue of salaries for legislative staffers.
In a statement from the House’s Press Bureau, Speaker Koffa assured the staffers that the Ways Means, and Finance Committee is actively working with the Ministry of Finance to expedite the salary processing.
The decision was made following the appearance of the Minister of Finance, Boima S. Kamara, and his two deputies for Budget and Fiscal Affairs on Monday, March 11, 2024.
The Leadership at the same time urges stakeholders to recognize the gravity of the situation and appreciates the collaborative efforts between the House of Representatives and the Ministry of Finance to address the matter promptly.
Like the Legislative staffers, civil servants across the nation are yet to receive their salaries for the month of February and March.
