However, discussions are ongoing on how assist the CCC through other sources of funding, he added.
Atalig noted that he did transfer $3 million from CCC to help with the CNMIâs Covid-19 response and mitigation plans early last year.
âI did promise to get those funds back to them,â he added.
The $3 million that will be returned to the commission should be sufficient for its operations, considering that the Imperial Pacific International casino is not in operation, the Finance chief said.
All CCC employees will be paid, he added.Â
âWeâll make sure that employees of the CCC are getting their payroll, but we also need to focus on what their priorities are knowing that there is no casino operating at the moment .â
