00:00I can confirm that at just about 3 p.m. this afternoon, the city collected a check for June salaries
00:10from the Ministry of Local Government.
00:12I've asked the chief executive officer and the city treasurer to immediately begin processing salary payments for our civil servants.
00:22And so we expect that all of our civil servants should receive their June salaries in the not-too-distant
00:30future.
00:31We still do not have any allocation for salaries for July, August or September 2026.
00:38So we will continue to engage with the Ministry of Local Government to rectify that particular issue.
00:44And we also have not as yet received the allocation required for us to pay the increased wage rate for
00:52our daily-rated workers
00:54or to pay our back pay to our daily-rated workers, so that we will also be engaging with the
01:00Ministry of Local Government
01:01to bring that part of the fiscal fiasco to an end.
