Pending salary: AYWO for ‘overhaul’ of GHADC

TURA: The A’chik Youth Welfare Organization (AYWO) has written to the Chief Executive Member (CEM) of the GHADC demanding the immediate streamlining and payment of salaries of the employees which has been pending since June last year.
“It is a matter of grave concern and shame that the salary of the staff still remain unsolved, unattended and unaddressed. In the past also, there have been many delaying tactics used by the authorities and each time, it is the employees and their families who have to face the consequences. The organizational structure of the GHADC, especially in financial matters must be overhauled,” Dimseng Marak, the Assistant General Secretary of AYWO demanded in a statement.
Referring to an alleged RTI finding recently where it was revealed that the GHADC had received a total of Rs 49,52,85,354/- in the year 2014-15, Marak wondered how it was unable to pay the employees’ salaries when sufficient revenue was being generated under its various departments.
Marak also hinted at corruption taking place within the council and said, “The mismanagement/misappropriation of funds in the GHADC must also be probed thoroughly and action should be taken against anyone if found guilty.”
