Its sounds rather unbelievable but its the truth that INEC- the
Independent National Electoral Commission is broke and might not be able
to pay its staffs in few months to come.
In a statement made by the commission boss on Wednesday in Abuja, he
told the visiting members of the House of Representatives Committee on
Electoral Matters, led by its chairman, Mr. Jerry Manwe, that it was
broke and might not be able to pay staff salaries, as from next month.
He therefore called on the legislators to quickly intervene and save
the situation to avoid frustrating the commission’s aspiration of
conducting the 2015 general elections in line with international best
practices.
It would be recalled that, Ondo state gubernatorial election is just
16 days from now, it won’t be ideal for politicians to start ‘paying’
the salaries of the INEC staffs.
