Staff of the Controller and Accountant General’s Department (CAGD) nationwide are threatening to stop work unless they are paid Special Duty Allowances (SDA), and get other administrative issues resolved.
The staff have said they will halt the ongoing validation services for public sector workers if their demands are not met.
They are further threatening to boycott the forthcoming production of the third-quarter national accounts of the Consolidated Fund.
https://www.myjoyonline.com/accountant-generals-department-suspends-salaries-of-some-public-sector-workers/According to them, their action has become necessary following delays in the payment of their allowances.
In a petition sighted by MyJoyOnline.com, they also asked staff due promotion to be invited and promoted immediately.
“We demand 2021 SDA be paid immediately and that of 2022 be paid by the end of the year while subsequent SDAs be consolidated into our monthly salaries.
“This has become necessary following delays in payment of the allowance at every year end, an allowance that used to be part of staff salaries in the past.
"Vehicle or Car Maintenance Allowances for 2021 and 1st, 2nd and 3rd quarters of 2022 should, as a matter of urgency, be paid without further delay,” excerpts of the petition said.
They are therefore calling on their management to address these issues within fourteen days or they down their tools.
