A complaint was lodged with the Ombudsman Commission against the Central Provincial Administration regarding the non-payment of salary and disadvantaged school allowances for a primary school teacher in the Mekeo LLG, Central Province in 2014.
The teacher initially lodged the complaint with the Teaching Service Commission in 2015, follow-ups were made but nothing was done therefore the complainant raised this issue again with the Ombudsman Commission on 09 July 2019.
The Commission commenced its full investigation on 5 May 2020 into Central Provincial Administration. Enquiries and feedback were made with the Central Provincial Administration through the Division of Education.
On 9 September 2021, the Commission was advised by the Central Provincial Education Advisor that the complainant’s salary calculation was done and the payment will be facilitated soon.
