Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The government of South Sudan\u2019s Jonglei state has said that the state government has reversed a plan to cut allowances for state workers following recent protest in Bor town which over 17 wounded as security forces dispersed protesters.<\/p>\n

More than 17 people were injured recently when a group of civil servants angered by state government\u2019s announcement to cut their allowances went on strike.<\/p>\n

But teachers rejected the cut on their allowance and announced state-wide protest over unpaid allowances. The protestors overran government officers forcing security forces to evacuate governor, Denay Chagor to safer area.<\/p>\n

In July, President Salva Kiir Mayardit directed the ministry of finance and economic planning to immediately increase the salaries of civil servants by 100 percent in its 2021-2022 budgets.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Sudans Post on Monday, Veronica William, the Jonglei State Minister of Information, said the decision was reversed following a recent meeting between state government and Joseph Bangasi Bakasoro, the national minister of Public Services.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe meeting between Joseph Bangasi Bakasoro, the national Minister of Public Services and the Jonglei State authorities has succeeded, and it has resolve key challenges,\u201d William told Sudans Post on Monday in an interview.<\/p>\n

William said the meeting resolved that the salaries of state workers should be deducted to foster worsening security situation in the state. \u201cWe have agreed that salaries for workers coming from Juba can\u2019t be deducted,\u201d William said.<\/p>\n

She said they have also agreed to immediately implement the 100 percent increment of civil servants\u2019 salaries. \u201cThe government has implemented paying its civil servants. The workers started receiving their salaries on Friday last week,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She said the state officials have finally reached the long awaited consensuses with civil servants. \u201cThe salaries must not be touch, it is their money, and we must implement it and there should be no more complain from the states,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
