Participants under the Climate Smart Enhanced Public Works (CS-EPW) programme in Ntchisi District have expressed satisfaction over timely payment of wages in the past two phases.
Jennifer Sofasi of Mikwala catchment area in Senior Chief Chikho said timely payment of wages in the phases has served as a motivation to the participants to work hard.
Untimely payment of wages has been among the major concerns among participants under the World Bank funded project and respective authorities have been working towards rectifying it.
Another participant, Tilimbe Samalani, said the wages will among others reduce challenges they are facing and hopes for continued timely wages in future.
“The wages will help us in buying our daily necessities including food and we believe that some of the participants will be able to use the money in village savings and loans” said Samalani.
Representative for Mikwala catchment area Labsoni Chichitike thanked government for the timely wages and hopes for more impactful activities to be done across the district through the project.
