Over $58 million was disbursed in Region Two yesterday by the Regional Democratic Council (RDC) at Anna Regina to over 1,500 part-time workers.
The workers showed up in their numbers to uplift their cash payments. Many of them were seen very early joining lines in the RDC compound. The payment of $40,000 was made to them for 10 days’ work in June.
The government’s part-time work programme has raised questions about its design and whether any substantial tasks are being done.
