Burunga : Trainers and candidate census agents demand their travel expenses

Since the beginning of the training, candidate census agents in the province of Burunga (southern Burundi), according to the new administrative division, have been complaining about not having yet received travel expenses. The training began on July 25.

For its part, the central office in charge of the census indicates that these travel expenses will be paid into the participants’ accounts that will be opened at the COOPEC* or at the national post office after the training.

These trainers and future census agents say that they travel long distances.

“We travel long distances but since the beginning of the training, not a single franc allocated to the training has been given,” they lament.

Others, such as those from the districts of Kayogoro and Kibago, are having difficulty finding food and accommodation, because the training is taking place in the town center of the new district of Makamba.

They say they are unable to find money to pay for hotels.

The Central Census Bureau indicates that travel expenses will be granted after the training and that all payments will be made into an account opened at the COOPEC or the national post office.

The training of candidate census agents began on July 25 and will end on August 14.
