Temporary staff attached to the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM), are up in arms over the non-payment of their salaries for the past two months. The workers who were contracted to work during the Claims and Objections period have not received any payment since December last year. According to the angry workers, they were trained and contracted to work for the Claims and Objection period with the contract ending January 31. However, they continued to work up to today. The workers told this newspaper that whenever they enquired about their pay for January and February, GECOM officials offered then very little explanation. Kaieteur News on several occasions last week tried to contact GECOM Chairman, Dr. Steve Surujballi but was referred to Chief Elections Officer Gocool Boodoo. Efforts to contact Boodoo also proved futile as he was ‘constantly at a meeting’. The unpaid workers said that GECOM is currently carrying out training of staff for the upcoming Local Government Elections. They claimed that GECOM is providing transportation reimbursement and meals for the trainees and yet they cannot be paid for work already done. |
