IPNews-Monrovia: Delay in disbursement of government employee salaries might likely to persist, as new report suggests that the Liberia Revenue Authority is experiencing drastic decline in the collection of needed revenue for the state.
It’s not clear what have been the main cause of the fall in the collection of revenue by the LRA; but sources at the LRA have shifted the blame on the part of the CDC government’s failure to attract foreign investors as well as the appointment of unqualified partisans in top positions in government.
Accordingly, a highly placed source in the corridor government speaking on the condition of anonymity, told Independent Probe that the decline in the revenue by the LRA might cause serious setback in running the affairs of the state something that might cause an imminent shutdown.
With this latest development emanating within the government, there is a likelihood of continual delay in the payment of civil servants salary, as the CDC- led government is already obligated to employees of various line ministries, agencies including members of the legislature.
