The Chairman of the Regional Democratic Council (RDC) of Region One (Barima-Waini) has denied reports that the administration indiscriminately fired several sweeper-cleaners, who had been attached to schools within the Moruca Sub-Region but had not been paid for work done.
Stabroek News was informed that six head teachers within the Morcua district were ordered to “send home” sweeper-cleaners from their respective schools. The sweeper-cleaners were reportedly not paid for a number of months and were sent home without any information as to when they will be paid.
The schools that the sweeper-cleaners were sent home from were identified as Santa Rosa Secondary, Karaburi Primary, St Nicholas Primary, Warapoka Primary, Kamwatta Primary and Kwebanna Primary.
