Ceuta Now! will present to the next Plenary a proposal for the City to guarantee punctual payment in companies and entities that have contracts or subsidies with the local Administration. A problem that “unfortunately has been repeated in recent years on many occasions” and whose latest victims are “humble people who suffer to be able to face essential payments in their domestic environment such as electricity and water supplies or their own mortgage. homes ”.
Ceuta Now! recalls that “it has become customary for the City to pay late and badly” to the companies and entities in charge of delivering “their modest salary to these people.” They point out that it is true that private organizations “should have the necessary mechanisms to meet their obligations, but this is not essential. The important thing here is that, in this macabre game between the City and companies, those who suffer are the usual ones: those from below, the people who need their salary to survive ”.
The local deputy Mohamed Mustafa indicates that the local government “cannot continue to avoid its responsibilities in this matter.” For this reason, he considers “it is necessary to review the procedures that are applied to make the necessary work of auditing expenses compatible with the punctuality of payments in those cases in which payrolls depend directly on the public services that are provided.” For Ceuta Ya! “If the payrolls of public workers have to be paid on time, the same should happen with those who work in the private sector and, let’s not forget, they also provide public services to citizens, although under harsher conditions.”
For this reason, the local formation will present to the next Plenary a proposal to establish legal and administrative procedures, for example with the creation of a specific unit, to guarantee punctual payment in those companies and entities that provide services to the City. Everything to avoid the delay in the payment of the payroll to the affected workers.
