Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>South Sudan\u2019s President Salva Kiir Mayardit on Monday signed the 2023-2024 national fiscal budget into law, three days after the parliament passed the budget amid opposition protest.<\/p>\n

The bill was present to the office of the president by speaker of parliament Jemma Nunu Kumba today<\/p>\n

In statements to journalists following the signing of the budget by the president, Kumba said the country\u2019s finance minister will, in a five-months\u2019 time, present a supplementary budget for the increment of civil servants\u2019 salaries.<\/p>\n

The 2.1 trillion budget was passed on Friday with a 400 percent increment in salaries and wages for civil servants, the army and other organized forces.<\/p>\n

The main armed opposition group SPLM-IO protested the budget presented by the finance minister, demanding an immediate 600 percent salary increase. The budget was passed despite their absence.<\/p>\n

The budget also includes funding for infrastructure development, education, and healthcare.<\/p>\n
