Former CEPEP contractors are pleading with the Government to pay outstanding monies owed to them after their termination.
On June 27, around 300 CEPEP contractors were terminated. The Government’s stated reason for the mass termination was to allow for a full audit of the programme due to alleged irregularities and corruption. The contractors were informed they would receive one month’s pay in lieu of notice.
While some contractors have already been paid in full, others told Guardian Media they are still awaiting payment, saying they have fallen on hard times and are in desperate need of the money owed to them.
