The Civil Registry Department has announced a significant development in addressing the outstanding allowances owed to staff who participated in the 2023 national mobile registration exercise.
According to a statement issued by the department, the Government, through Treasury, has released USD3 million to partly settle the arrears. This payment comes as a relief to hundreds of personnel who were involved in last year’s mop-up registration campaign, which aimed to increase access to vital national documents, particularly in remote areas.
