Last night on the news you saw PUP Toledo West Representative Oscar Requena calling out the Attorney General and the Prime Minister, demanding that they pay 80 Alcalde's from 40 villages their monthly salary going back to January.
Well, faster than you could say, "rapid response", we saw this release today. It says, quote, "…on November 13, 2017, funds were transferred to the Punta Gorda Sub-Treasury for onward payment of the First and Second Alcaldes. The funds include payment from January to October of 2017." End quote.
Alcaldes can visit the PG Sub-Treasury to collect their stipend.
The Attorney General explained that the delay was caused because the entire system of payment had to be regularized. In the past, the Alcalde's payment went to two private individuals who would then distribute it to them. Now, they all have accounts at the Treasury Department.
