Release frozen salaries by Friday or face our wrath – NAGRAT threatens Special Prosecutor

The National Association of Graduate Teachers(NAGRAT) has directed the Office of the Special Prosecutor to release the salaries of some teachers by Friday, February 16, 2024 or face their wrath.

According to the Association, the OSP has withheld the salaries of more than 400 teachers.

The OSP justifying the frozen accounts of the teachers said they are investigating ghost names on the government’s payroll.

Nevertheless, the President of NAGRAT, Eric Angel Carbonu said that is not enough justification to withhold their salaries.

“When you’re auditing somebody until the audit is completed and you have conclusively arrived indicating that A, B and C are not qualified to earn a salary, you don’t go ahead to inflict purgery” Mr. Carbonu noted while speaking on NewsNite.

He further warned that the association will be forced to resort to other measures if the OSP fails to release the salaries after the two-day ultimatum.

“He [Special Prosecutor] has not finished prosecuting people who have been given bribes in elections and things like that, it is not poor teachers that he is coming to zero in on,” he said.

“If he does not defreeze the salaries by Friday, he will have to be blamed for whatever happens after Friday” he added.
