Former employees of Agriculture and Corporative Development Bank (ACDB) are in discussion with the Liberian government through the Agriculture Ministry for salary arrears and other benefits which according to them, government owes them.
For the past months, the former employees have been mounting pressure on the government to settle their arrears, but with little progress.
Speaking to The Analyst recently, the group spokesman, Sampson Borteh said government is indebted to them in the tone of US$47,000.00, as what he called "providence funds and salary arrears, including other benefits" incurred over the past year.
Mr. Borteh said they have since petitioned the National Legislature, requesting it to intervene and ensure that the government settles their claims.
Besides petitioning the lawmakers, he said they held a meeting with the lawmakers, including some top officials of the Agriculture Ministry at the offices of the special committee on agriculture.
At the meeting, he said, Agriculture Ministry officials were told to convey the message to President Sirleaf about the claims of former ACDB employees.
