Even though you have insisted last year (2017) at the request of the Commission on Boards and Finance of the Parliament that SCEC civil servants have equal treatment with the civil servants of Independent Constitutional Institutions, the commission in question has not approved our request, and in case whose SCEC officials, now several years, are being discriminated on wages in comparison with independent constitutional institutions officers from the same constitutional category.
