Daily workers at the Electricity Company sell flowers and corn during their sit-in whilst official parties exchange accusations

The 475 daily workers at the Electricity Company are still holding their peaceful sit-in to protest for not being paid their salaries for two months.  They have now adopted a new way to express their hardship as they resorted to selling flowers, kaak and cheese and legumes to passersby.  The daily workers intend to continue with the same tactic as, according to an interview by As Safi with one of the women daily workers, their plans are to sell corn on the cob and candy floss which have an even higher turnover rate!
With regards to the overall efforts to resolve this matter, sources within the Ministry of Finance told As Safir that the Ministry has not yet received any official communication from the administration of the Electricity Company on this subject.  The source confirms that the Ministry of Finance is not responsible for the delay in salaries payment for the daily workers.  The Electricity Company told As Safir that it is doing all that it can to safeguard the rights of daily workers and the continuity of their jobs and the obstacles are somewhere else.
