The Anambra state House of Assembly committee on public Accounts has mandated the Head of Service and Staff of Ayamelum local Government Area to work in accordance with the rules of local government system as stipulated in local government hand book to justify their pay.
The committee made this assertion when they visited the local government headquarters for verification exercise.
The committee which spoke through its chairman, Mr. Charles Ezeani expressed disappointment at way the staff of the local government operate, which has undermined the integrity of local government administration.
The committee which frowned at the unhygienic of all the offices in the local government observed that out of two hundred personnel employed in the local government headquarters only five percent come to work on daily basics.
The committee warned staff who spend government’s fund without record to retrace their steps as anybody caught in the act will lose his job and face the Economic and financial crimes commission.
On her part, the Head of service, Ayamelu local government Area, Mrs. Jane Ejiogu informed the committee that the local government staff do not come to work but collect their salaries at the end of every month, urging the committee to use their power to stop their salaries in order to check the trend.
The committee also visited Anambra west local government Area where they mandated the local government administration to furnish them with all the document of the projects executed in the local government from 2014 till date.
