Supervisors and field officers employed in the recent 2010 National Population and Housing Census are planning to hit the streets in a demonstration against delayed payment of allowances.
The officers who were engaged in the mop-up and damage control exercises say they are displeased with the Ghana Statistical Service for refusal to honour payment of outstanding allowance.
The Census Secretariat sought the additional hands in the enumeration of households which had not been captured in the actual census. Enumerators and supervisors who opted to participate in the mop up are worried about delayed payment of allowances.
Spokesperson for the aggrieved personnel in the Ashanti region, Evans Nunoo who explained the matter said they feel betrayed by the Authority as far as the contract agreement is concerned. He further lamented for the waste of time in sitting at hoping to be recalled to complete the Nation-wide.
In a related development, the Public Relations Officer of the Census Secretariat, Michael Adu Gyamfi says he is optimistic that the affected people will be paid soon as authorities attached seriousness to the issue. He called for calm nerves on the situation.
