Zec denies salary backlog

THE Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) has denied reports that it has not paid its workers and commissioners for the past three months due to cashflow problems.

Zec chairperson Justice Rita Mkarau told NewsDay that allegations by the commission’s employees that they had not been paid were false.

“It is a lie and I would have screamed if that was the case,” Makarau said.
