The Ministry of Finance Civil Servant Association (MOF-CSA) has claimed an attempt by the Senior Management Team at the ministry to pension over two hundred employees of Finance who have diligently rendered services to the country over twenty years, but the Director of Communications at the ministry has denied knowledge of such scheme.
The MOF-CSA in a release said it has learnt from credible sources that the names of MOF employees pending retirement have already been deleted from the regular payroll without any formal notification to the concerned employees.
“Such act is utterly despicable to treat men and women who have served the Government and people of Liberia in dishonorable fashion. They have attained the true status of honorable men and women by any stretch of imagination,” the release indicated.
The MOF-CSA has challenged the Senior Management Team to observe the traits of good governance as envisaged by the current political dispensation by conducting official business openly and transparently on matters regarding the welfares of employees.
“Paradoxically, the Ministry of Finance is seen publicly preaching transparency and accountability when it cannot even practice their elemental tenets. We are certainly perplex and disappointed about the level of secrecy surrounding the entire pension exercise,” the release said.
The association has at the same time recommended that the Senior Management Team return to status quo by reinstating the names of all concerned on the regular payroll until the procedures required to conduct pension exercise is meticulously followed.
However, the Director of Communications at Finance, SidikiTrawalley has told the In Profile Daily that the Human Resource Department of the ministry is not aware of any secret pension scheme involving over two hundred MOF employees as alleged by the MOF-CSA.
