Government yields to pleas by workers who could not register with SSNIT BIOMETRIC System

Following concerns raised by some stakeholders on the suspension of salaries of workers who have not gone through SSNIT biometric registration, government says all those who are legitimate public sector workers but have not been able to go through the SSNIT biometric registration are required to do so before their salaries will be released to them.
 
It says those who go through the registration before 3rd May, 2017 will be paid by the 15th of May, 2017.

A statement issued by the Ministry of Finance said those who have gone through the SSNIT Biometric registration but have been mistakenly blocked are assured that by the same 15th May, 2017 their salaries will be released to them upon resolution of the errors.  

The statement said, government is grateful to all stakeholders for their support in assisting it to clean the pay roll and to make savings for investment into the lives of the people.
