Salary scales of civil servants to be reviewed

There is a need to review the salary scales of civil servants in order to improve their living standard, the Minister of Labor and Public Service has said.

Ngor Kulang, who was addressing the opening of a workshop on good governance in Juba this morning said they will meet with the Ministry of Finance and the Civil Service Commission to discuss the issue.

“I know there is a problem. Since 2005, nobody revised the salaries,” Mr Kulang stated.

Mr. Kulang also urged the government employees to be smart as they come to work although their salaries have not been paid for many months now.

“I know the salaries paid by the government to the civil servants are not enough. All of us are aware about this,” he added.

“I think we are looking forward to form some committees in order to find out the best practice to overcome this situation.”
