The United Bank for Africa (UBA) has informed the Amnesty Office that some Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP) delegates have not received their March stipends due to technical issues in the bank’s processing system.

The explanation following repeated complaints from beneficiaries of the PAP that they had not received their stipends for the month of March.

A statement yesterday signed by the Special Assistant, Media, to the Administrator, PAP, Mr. Igoniko Oduma, said due to the complaints, the Programme Administrator, Dr. Dennis Otuaro, who felt the delay was abnormal, wrote the UBA wherein the bank explained that some delegates banking with it had not been paid due to glitches in its processing system.

Oduma said the bank, however, explained that it had processed the refund for the failed transactions into the beneficiaries’ accounts.

The spokesman said: “Due to complaints from some beneficiaries, the Amnesty Office had written to the bank seeking an explanation for the delay.

“The Amnesty Office had disbursed March stipends to all beneficiaries’ accounts and the funds had already left its accounts.

“The office will collaborate with UBA to ensure that all outstanding payment issues are resolved.

“The Office thanks all beneficiaries for their patience and display of patriotism in reacting to this unexpected development.”
