Making the disclosure Monday,the spokesperson of the Liberian Senate staffers Association Mr.Charles Brown promised to steer an indefinite action against the Leadership of the Liberian Senate due to what he termed as “failure” to reportedly settle two months salaries and eight (8) months Gasoline owed them by the Senate.
Mr.Charles Brown disclosed that the Senate staffers Association have given the leadership of the Upper House a five day ultimatum beginning Monday March 4 to Tuesday March 9 2024.
He asserted that senators including their personal staffers received their salaries for the month of February including their Gas, while Central administration staffers of the Senate are yet to receive a dime.
Mr. Brown has deemed the situation as grave and has therefore threatened unspecified action if the leadership of the Senate refuse to address their plight.
The Senate staffers spokesman at the same time disclosed that they will not accept one month out of their two months salaries insisting that they won’t consider any form of negotiations.
He noted that following their ultimatum on Tuesday, there will be no confirmation hearing at the Liberian Senate if there’s no redress.
