Counting Officials for Nabak and Labuta LLGs have raised concerns over none payments of their allowances this morning at Boana Station where the counting is going on.
More than 20 counting officials had a meeting with Returning officer Bamun Bange and raised this concern.
The officials claimed their allowances were not being sorted for two weeks now.
Nabak LLG has three more boxes to count while Labuta and Wain Erap LLGs completed their counts.
Wain Erap did quality checks yesterday while Labuta has resolved to arrange counters from different counting centres for quality checks.
The only LLG still going on with counting is Nawaeb Urban with nine more boxes to count.
RO Bamun addressed the counting officials and said to respond to the officials’ concerns after a talk with Morobe Election manager Simon Soheke.
Counting officials are still waiting for the response.
