Provincial Councils short of funds to pay workers

Issues have arisen with the payment of allowances and overtime pay of state officials attached to Provincial Councils due to the lack of funding. The most affected are Health Workers attached to Provincial Councils. The respective provincial council secretaries have raised the matter with the Ministry of Provincial Councils and Local Government. The Ministry had requested for the estimated requirement from the Provincial Council secretaries, it is reported. When the requirement is communicated it would be directed to the treasury, the Ministry said.
