Maru adds that other sectors which also will come under review will be Fisheries, and Agricultural in particular work of organisations such as the Cocoa board.

“I don’t understand why it did not start immediately after the close of the 2012 election and we would be coming to a conclusion now as we come to the next election.  

“I do not know (what) the cause of the failure is. Perhaps the problem is we try to set up another agency when we have the Electoral Commission already here.

Public servants must have NID cards to get entitlements: Abel

This is the move undertaken by the government to reduce ‘ghost names’ in the payment system.

In his speech on Tuesday during the Budget lock-up session at the National Parliament, National Planning Minister Charles Abel said with the 2016 National Budget allocation, every employee in government departments must be registered and have a national ID as a requirement.

He said this will qualify government employees to be on payroll and prevent ghost names from appearing on the payroll.
