Min­is­ter of Rur­al De­vel­op­ment and Lo­cal Gov­ern­ment Khadi­jah Ameen has giv­en an as­sur­ance all month­ly-paid Lo­cal Gov­ern­ment em­ploy­ees af­fect­ed by a re­cent salary de­lay will re­ceive their wages, fol­low­ing swift in­ter­ven­tion by her min­istry and the Min­istry of Fi­nance.

In a state­ment yes­ter­day, Ameen said the de­lay was the re­sult of an ad­min­is­tra­tive holdup with­in the pub­lic ser­vice—not a fund­ing is­sue.
