Bahrain Mirror: A report issued by the State Audit and Administrative Control Bureau disclosed that the National Institution for Human Rights (NIHR) has cut 41,844 BD from its employees' salaries, representing the employees' shares in pension fees and payments for retirement loans without transferring them to the Public Authority for Social Insurance and instead used the money to finance the operating expenses of the year. The control bureau stressed that this measure exposes the employees to legal and financial threats for they are considered to be failing to pay their monthly fee payments according to the commission records. This also puts their pension rights at risk.

NIHR said it started paying the overdue pension fees and pension services and loans related dues of 2014 for a number of months and that the rest of the payments have been scheduled to be fully paid according to cash liquidity.
