Baa Atoll Kihaadhoo Island Council has yesterday decided to keep all external communications on hold because the council employees’ last month’s salaries have still not been paid.

In a press release issued by the council, it stated that it has been more than five months since the phone; fax and internet connections of the council have been disconnected. And the council said that adding to this the employees has not been given their salaries for the month of December. The council said that this shows that the council is incapable of giving out any service so therefore the council has decided to put all the external communications of the council on hold.

The Council stated that they can only continue their external communications after receiving all the necessary funds. They stated that they will do all that takes to pay the salaries of the employees.

Kihaadhoo Council also stated that the families of the employees are in a lot of stress and difficulty because of this delay in the payment of salaries.

“It is not in the beliefs of the council to make the employees work without paying their due salaries,” the council said.
