Ministry of Finance has approved the assignment of Rf 1.5 million to the budget of Elections Commission (EC) as living allowance for EC’s employees, according to local news Sun.
Vice President of Elections Commission Ahmed Fayaz said today that Finance Ministry has granted permission to make changes to the budget and include living allowance of about Rf 1.5 million for employees, Sun reported.
According to Fayaz, some changes to the budget have already been made and that will not pose any administrative difficulties for the commission.
EC requested for living allowance from Finance Ministry, after the employees staged a sit down strike last month.
