Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>Governor Joseph Nguen Manytuil Wijang of South Sudan\u2019s Unity State has officially enacted a bill amplifying the salaries of members serving in the state\u2019s transitional legislative assembly from SSP85,000 to SSP700,000, as confirmed by a state parliament representative.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Sudans Post on Tuesday, chair of information committee at the state parliament Stephen Mawich disclosed that the bill had been passed by the parliament three months ago and received the governor\u2019s signature last week.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis Emolument Act, now signed into law, is pivotal in bolstering our salaries and providing a structured payment framework for parliamentarians,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe salary increases to SSP700,000 will empower lawmakers to effectively carry out their duties and spearhead developmental initiatives within their respective constituencies and households,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He expressed appreciation to the governor.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe express gratitude to Governor Manytuil for endorsing the Emolument Act, which was passed by the parliament last month,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis critical legislation ensures a substantial raise, elevating lawmakers\u2019 salaries to SSP700,000 from the former SSP85,000,\u201d he affirmed.<\/p>\n
