The Felix Obuah-led faction of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has accused Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi of using the arbitrary salary deductions as a ploy to pull enough resources for his highly speculated 2015 Vice Presidential ambition.

According to DAILY POST,a statement issued by the PDP faction said it had observed that civil servants in the state were going through “untold hardship inflicted on these helpless government workers, using the baseless state social services law as a cover”.

“The irrational application of the policy without recourse to rank and amount earned by the workers, as in most cases, junior workers on grade level one to seven are tasked more as evidenced in the September deductions that have set some of the workers against the paying banks.

“The party wonders why the deduction if properly and purposefully articulated will continue to fluctuate month after month, and petitions by the aggrieved persons for explanations on the conflicting deductions not given by neither the finance ministry nor the paying bank.

“How can a government that continues to pride itself as having enough resources and is not broke not be kind or sympathetic enough to pay its staff what is due them but rather revels in seeing them cry and complain at the end of each month? Is this what democracy or being well to do is all about”, the party queried.

The party called on the Governor Amaechi to initiate the process of refunding those who have already been shortchanged by the unpopular, irresponsible and inhuman policy.
