Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>Following the delay in payment of salaries to government officials in the country, the All Peoples Congress (APC) main opposition has raised concern for and on behalf of all workers in the country. <\/b><\/p>\n

The We Yone News in their special edition on the 5th June 2024 reported that, the party expressed dissatisfaction claiming that such situation would not occur under the leadership of the APC party.<\/p>\n

They maintained that, the persistent problem of delayed salary disbursements to government workers has become a cause for concern, particularly amidst a period of high inflation that has reduced the buying power of the populace.<\/p>\n

The article compares the APC party\u2019s approach during Ernest Bai Koroma\u2019s tenure to now under President Julius Maada Bio\u2019s SLPP government in prioritizing government workers\u2019 welfare.<\/p>\n

Under the APC government led by former President Ernest Bai Koroma, an emphasis was placed on ensuring that government workers received their salaries on time.<\/p>\n

During the almost eleven-year tenure of the APC, salaries were disbursed before the end of each month, with special provisions made during holidays to ensure early payment.<\/p>\n

This proactive approach was seen as a demonstration of the APC\u2019s commitment to the well-being of the workforce, many of whom rely on their government salaries to support their families.<\/p>\n

In sharp contrast, the SLPP government under President Bio has become notorious and has constantly been criticized for delays in salary payments, causing hardship and financial strain for government employees.<\/p>\n

The We Yone points out that the failure to prioritize timely payment has had a significant impact on the majority of Sierra Leoneans who depend on their government salaries for their livelihood.<\/p>\n

This delay has been perceived as a departure from President Bio\u2019s campaign promise of bringing about positive change, with many viewing the current situation as a regression rather than progress.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the We Yone draws attention to the disparity in wages between government workers and the private sector, emphasizing the importance of timely salary payments for public servants.<\/p>\n

It underscores the vital role that government workers play in the country\u2019s workforce and the need for their salaries to be issued promptly to ensure their financial stability and ability to provide for their families.<\/p>\n

The We Yone also highlights the APC party\u2019s track record of advocating for the welfare of the people, citing examples such as the increase in the minimum wage during their time in power.<\/p>\n

This contrast is used to underscore the perceived differences in priorities between the APC, which is portrayed as caring and empathetic, and the SLPP, which is characterized as heartless and unsympathetic towards the populace.<\/p>\n

In conclusion, We Yone suggests that President Bio\u2019s administration should strive to build upon the progress made by the previous government rather than backtrack on important issues such as timely salary payments.<\/p>\n

The contrasting approaches of the APC and the SLPP serve as focal points for the ongoing political discourse in Sierra Leone, with the welfare of the people at the centre of the debate.<\/p>\n
