Rep. Kollie said the issue regarding civil servants’ welfare and benefits should be prioritized by the government and therefore, the plan needs to be known in line with the current draft fiscal budget.
The Houseโs Committee on Lands, Mines, Energy, Natural Resources and Environment communication further requested the appearance of the Minister for him to address the De-harmonization issue raised by civil servants.
He emphasized that the welfare of government workers especially civil servants needs to be all concerned mostly lawmakers because they are directly representing the people across the country.

Following the reading of the communication, a motion was proffered by Nimba County District #2 Representative, Nyan Flomo to forward the letter to the Houseโs joint committee on Ways, Means and Finance and Public Accounts and Expenditures to act promptly since the 2024 draft fiscal budget is undergoing scrutiny.
