The Electoral Commission said that any person or group of persons who claimed not to have been paid by the Commission for work done during the 2020 election did not exist.
and it’s a ghost.
The commission rejected reports that about 200,000 field staff working during the 2020 elections have not been paid.
In a statement, the EC termed the report as false and an attempt to discredit and damage the integrity of the commission.
According to the Commission’s statement, to ensure transparency and accountability in the use of public funds, it established a system where field staff are paid through bank accounts.
“This is a departure from the previous practice where huge sums of money running into millions were carried in bags to pay staff in the field across the country,” said.
Read below the full statement
The attention of the Electoral Commission has been drawn to an article making the rounds in the media to the effect that the EC has not paid about 200,000 field staff working on the 2020 Elections.
This is false. The EC has so far paid all staff working during the 2020 elections.
For EC records in the bid to ensure transparency and accountability in the use of public funds, instituted a system where field staff are paid through bank accounts. This is a departure from the previous practice where a large amount of money runs to several million carried in a bag for the purpose of paying staff in the field across the country.
For the 2020 elections, all payments to field staff are made through bank accounts. Indeed, there is an opportunity to correct incorrect account details provided in 2021.
Everyone who corrected and resubmitted the correct account number has been paid. Notes to this effect are available.
Therefore, we appeal to the public to ignore the claim that the EC has not paid the 2020 election field workers as it is untrue. As always, this is an attempt to undermine and undermine the integrity of the EC. It will not work.
We want to state that any person or group of people who claim they were not paid by the Commission for the work they did during the 2020 elections do not exist.
They are ghosts.
