Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>Northern Bahr el Ghazal governor assented into law the state\u2019s 2023-2024 Fiscal Year Budget and Appropriation Act on Wednesday, nine months after the national budget was signed into law by the president.<\/p>\n

Tong Akeen Ngor consented to the 13-billion-pound budget after it was presented to him by the state parliament speaker, Honorable Achol William Amoi, only one month before the tabling of the next budget.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Fiscal year 2023\/2024 State Budget is SSP 13,697,089,800, which is based on personnel, operating and capital costs,\u201d a statement from the office of the governor read.<\/p>\n

It was not immediately clear when the state\u2019s legislature passed the budget.<\/p>\n

In August 2023, President Salva Kiir signed the 2023-2024 Fiscal Year Budget of 2.1 trillion pounds into law, two days after it was contentiously passed in parliament.<\/p>\n

The fiscal year budget was passed with a 400 percent increment in salaries and wages for civil servants, the Army, and other organized forces.<\/p>\n

In February 2024, the national cabinet also passed a minimum supplementary budget of about 107 billion South Sudanese pounds, which is short of the 713 billion requested to support electoral preparedness.<\/p>\n

However, challenges in exporting the country\u2019s chief crude oil through war-torn Sudan has left the government struggling to fund the budget, leading to failure to pay civil servants for many months.<\/p>\n

Former Finance Minister Dr. Bak Barnaba Chol said, during a meeting with finance ministers of the states and administrative areas in February, that the government does not have enough resources to sustain the 400% salary adjustment approved in the 2023\/2024 budget.<\/p>\n
