In a statement issued on Wednesday, May 8, the EC said 47 officials are yet to be paid an outstanding amount of GH¢24,263.16.
"The Electoral Commission wishes to inform the General Public that following the District Level Elections held in December 2023, almost all the Temporary Officials who worked for the Commission have been paid as per the schedule below," the statement signed by Mr. Michael Boadu, the Acting Director of Public Affairs, stated.
According to the statement, the EC is working to digitize its payroll and records management systems to help prevent delays in payment to temporary staff in future.
