Basko lamented that the civil servants were facing hardship as a result of the alleged ongoing verification exercise.

He urged the House to as a matter of urgency constitute a committee to investigate the circumstances under which the civil servants were denied their salary, including the Local Government workers and staff of the State Universal Basic Education Board.
