Delta State Independent Electoral Commission (DSIEC) has called on Adhoc staff who participated in the last local government council elections in the state that are yet to receive their emoluments to submit their correct account details to their respective Chief Electoral Officers (CEOs).
DSIEC’s Commissioner for Public Affairs and Communications, Olorogun Jude Emurotu made the call in a statement issued, yesterday, in Asaba.
Emurotu said the majority of the Adhoc staff have been paid while those affected were returned by their banks for incorrect account details.
He urged the affected persons to send their correct account details to the Chief Electoral Officers in their various local government areas for onward payment.
“The attention of the Delta State Independent Electoral Commission (DSIEC) has been drawn to reports of non-receipt of emoluments by some Adhoc staff who participated in the just concluded local government council elections in the state. “The Commission has paid all Local Government Returning Officers, Ward Returning Officers, and Supervisory Presiding Officers while a good number of other categories, such as Presiding Officers and polling clerks have received payments.
“However, some adhoc staff had submitted incorrect bank details hence their emoluments were reversed to the bank. This lacuna on the part of concerned adhoc staff slowed the process of payment.
“All affected adhoc staff yet to receive payment are, therefore, kindly requested to submit their correct account details to the Chief Electoral Officers (CEOs) in their respective local government areas without further delay for immediate payment,” the statement said.
