By Own Correspondent| MDC Alliance in the Midlands Province has failed to pay its polling agents, several months after the July 30 harmonised polls.

Most of the agents are unemployed and are therefore demanding that the party pay them their dues.

MDC Alliance deployed agents to monitor the polls in all wards in the province due to rigging fears.

MDC Alliance provincial treasurer, Josiah Makombe, who is also ward  2 councillor said:

“There is an outcry from the agents that we deployed in polling stations across the province. There had been an undertaking that they will be paid and they signed short contracts for the services they rendered… However, the money to pay them is yet to come from an organisation that had partnered us in ensuring free and fair elections that have no traits of rigging. We are, however, hopeful that the money will come and then all the agents can be (paid).- Newsday
