Capitol Hill, Monrovia – The House of Representatives has assured aggrieved Legislative staffers that it will work with the Senate to address the salary disparity conundrum between staffers of both Houses and ensure they receive their benefits. In its findings, the committee reported that the budget laws of 2019/2020 acknowledged salary harmonization and benefits cut across all branches of Government at different levels. “All Chief of Staff (COS), Research Officers, Special Assistants and Administrative Assistants including staffers of Central Administration who salary above US$500 did have Six percent cut,” the committee said. Staffers of the House, the committee added, were not affected. Meanwhile, House Speaker Bhofal Chambers cautioned the staffers to desist from violent and denigrating means in addressing their grievances.
