Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>Minister Ngafuan also addressed issues related to the previous administration\u2019s salary harmonization efforts, expressing concern over the resulting inequities.<\/p>\n

Finance and Development Planning Minister Augustine Kpehe Ngafuan has reaffirmed the government\u2019s commitment to improving the financial status of civil servants.<\/p>\n

During his appearance on ELBC Thursday, broadcast across the country, Minister Ngafuan assured the nation that efforts are being made to increase the disposable income of civil servants, with key details set to be disclosed in the upcoming national budget.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur administration\u2019s primary goal is to elevate the disposable income of civil servants.The specifics of this initiative will be revealed in the next budget, which we anticipate presenting to the Legislature at the end of October,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He emphasized the government\u2019s dedication to ensuring that Liberians enjoy improved disposable income. \u201cAs a responsible government, we are committed to making informed fiscal decisions regarding both expenditures and revenues,\u201d he affirmed.<\/p>\n

Minister Ngafuan also addressed issues related to the previous administration\u2019s salary harmonization efforts, expressing concern over the resulting inequities.<\/p>\n

Many civil servants with equivalent salaries experienced unequal gross pay, which has led to dissatisfaction and financial difficulties for some.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven in harmonization, there was victimization. Individuals with equal salaries were subject to unequal gross pay, and there are still civil servants earning less than $70,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

These remarks highlight the administration\u2019s renewed focus on ensuring fair compensation for civil servants as part of a broader strategy aimed at fostering economic stability and enhancing public service.<\/p>\n

The minister further explained that the current administration faces challenges in moving away from the previous harmonization model, particularly after $83 million was withdrawn from the Central Bank of Liberia\u2019s reserves to cover two months\u2019 salaries in 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are grappling with issues like unpaid ECOWAS trade levies that have been passed on to us, and we also need to address outstanding checks totaling millions left with vendors. We are diligently working to resolve these obligations,\u201d he elaborated.<\/p>\n

Minister Ngafuan assured civil servants of the government\u2019s ongoing commitment to improving their lives and the well-being of all Liberians.<\/p>\n
