In Mawali, court clerks are on strike for an indeffinite time, leaving Mawali's courts at a standstill. The reason for this is that the clerks were promised higher wages six years ago but never recived them. At this time no one in the judicial system is working, and if they are then they are working on the clerks' demands for a pay raise. No one is workng because clerks play a significant role in the way that they assign the courtrooms and retrive the case files that are needed. The clerks currently earn about $100 a month and they say that the government failed to pay a 40% pay raise in 2006 and again in 2009 but for 50%. The clerks have vowed that they will continue to go on strike until their demands are met. Mawali is one of the poorest countries in the world with 75% of it's citizens living on less than $1 a day.
