Dr London said an extra $30 million had been budgeted for in the 2011 fiscal allocations. Reporting that the process is already in train, he added that by August payments will be made to officers as agreed between the Government Chief Personnel Officer and the Public Service Association.
Staff will work overtime if necessary to ensure that payments are made as scheduled, he said.
“You know how firmly I believe and our Administration believes in paying people and trying our best to pay them on time. We want to put a stop to this kind of talk”, Dr London added.
