‘It is disheartening knowing what is going on. When we got here on August 6, we were told by the Ministry that a letter had been dispatched from the Sanitation Ministry to the Ministry of Finance. We were later told that the document had no budget allocated for the payment of the allowances. This shows that both ministries were not sincere to us, because they are reinventing the same story told since 2017. We do not agree to that this time around, we are staying here till we receive the money’, he said.
