Africa-Press – Liberia. By Thomas Domah/ Nimba County
Trainers from the Liberia Institute for Statistics and Geo-Information Service (LISGIS) sent to Nimba county to train recruits boycotted work on Tuesday, 19 October in Saclepea in demand of salary and alleged discrepancy.
The protesters had been trained in Gbarnga, Bong County earlier to train enumerators and others hired by LISGIS to conduct census in all 15 counties. But since end of September, they are yet to get salary from government.
Day two of the training was unable to take place because trainers who completed a week-long training in Bong County last month have not received payment.
The aggrieved trainers also demanded Daily Sustenance Allowance (DSA) which will enable them to feel themselves as they are yet to even get food and place to lodge.
According to them, they will not listen to anyone on grounds that they have engaged relevant authorities from LISGIS about their plight but yielded no result.
The training is to be held for five days after which the trainees will be deployed in the field for the census.
