One of the affected observers said they were promised that payments would be made by the 30th of August. Said the observer: > A lot of us have not received their payments for the work we did on election day. > We were contracted to be election observers during the August general elections. > We signed contracts that they were going to pay us US$65, US$60 for observing the election, and US$5 was supposed to be for airtime. > They had also said they were going to offer us lunch on the day and they told us that on the 30th of August 2023, we would have been paid. > It’s now, a month later we have not received our money for the work we did, and we are being told stories every day about our payments. > They told us that Econet was withholding our monies, people are disgruntled that we did the work and now we are not getting paid. > When we contacted Econet about the issue, they said they were not aware of the development, they said if anything a company that deposits its funds through the USD Ecocash platform is able to pay its own people. > They said they have no role to play in the distribution of funds to individuals.
