Monrovia-The House of Representatives has mandated at least two of its committees to work with authorities of the Liberia Revenue Authority and the Ministry of Finance in settling the arrears of 31 dismissed LRA employees.
The LRA according to legislative reports dismissed the 31 employees without severance benefits.
The situation led to series of protests and communications to the past and present governments for intervention.
In an effort to remedy the matter, the House recently cited the LRA to give reasons why the dismissed employees have not been fully compensated.
Appearing Tuesday before the House of Representatives, LRA Director General Elfrieda Tamba termed the lack of funding as the major hindrance.
Madam Tamba appealed to the legislature to ensure that funding is made available in the draft budget in order to address the situation.
The decision by the LRA leaves Liberians wondering why it decided to dismiss the employees in the absence of funds to pay severance and other benefits.
