City District Government Karachi has made arrangements for payment of salaries of its staff. Payment of salaries for the month of July was started. This was stated by District Co-ordination Officer Karachi Mohammad Hussain Syed while talking to employees of defunct KDA in his office on Thursday.
Earlier he met with these employees who were doing protest for non payment of their salaries. The agitating employees during their meeting with the DCO apprised him about the agony they were going through due to non payment of their salary. DCO Mohammad Hussain Syed said that he was aware of their problems and that is why a loan from building control authority has been arranged for payment of salaries.
He said that the city government does not have the resources to pay salaries to its employees in time. He called it unfortunate and said we are trying to solve this problem. DCO Karachi further said that the Sindh Government releases Rs 327million monthly to city government for payment of salaries of staff while a huge amount of Rs 705million is required every month for the payment of salaries of city government employees. He said so far we have received only Rs 100million in the salaries head from Government and the remaining amount would also be paid soon. Regarding release of funds for staff's uniforms, he said this would be done after payment of salaries.
