The Electoral Commission(EC) has given a firm assurance that all arrears due to its field officers for the 2020 election will be released by April, 30, 2021.
The field operatives who were recruited by the election management body(EMB) purposely to assist in the 2020 polls are yet to receive any payment after four months of the elections held.
But the EC in a statement dated April, 06, 2021 apologised for the seeming delay and promised to release payment as soon as possible.
“The Commission regrets the delay in effecting the payments and assures all Field Operatives that arrangements are being made to ensure the timely release of funds.”
“The Commission thanks its hard-working and dedicated team of Field Operatives who lived by its motto and contributed to making the 2020 Elections successful, transparent, timely, credible and peaceful.”
