Govt partly pays Civil Registry staff for 2023 voter reg exercise

GOVERNMENT has started paying outstanding allowances for civil servants attached to the Civil Registry Department during the 2023 voter registration exercise.

According to a survey conducted across the country, some of the civil servants got their payments this month after nearly a year of promises from  Treasury.

Government workers recruited for the mop-up exercise ahead of the August 2023 elections have been at loggerheads with Treasury over outstanding payments.
