Buchanan, Grand Bassa County – Poll workers of the 2017 Presidential and representatives elections in Grand Bassa County on Saturday staged a protest action in Buchanan City demanding payment of their salaries from the National Election Commission. “Other counties have received their money but for us in Grand Bassa County, David Logan, the magistrate (of NEC) has refused to pay our money,” Myers said. Eddie Williams, County Information Officer, assured the aggrieved workers that the county authorities have communicated with the NEC magistrate and promised to pay the workers Tuesday. He said the county authority regrets the delay of the payments to the NEC workers but will work with the NEC local office to remedy the situation. Efforts applied to get word from the NEC Grand Bassa County magistrate David Logan was fruitfulness as reliable sources told FrontPage Africa that he had gone out of Buchanan city and his mobile phone was switched off.
