JUBA – South Sudan’s Transitional National Legislative Assembly (TNLA) on Friday summoned the Minister of Finance and the Commissioner General of the National Revenue Authority (NRA) to appear before parliament on Monday to explain the ongoing salary delays.

Civil servants and members of the organized forces have gone nine months without pay, prompting the TNLA to demand answers from Finance Minister Marial Dongrin and Revenue Authority chief Africano Mande.

“The parliament as of next week from Monday is going to summon the minister of finance to come and explain to parliament about these delays and arrears salaries of the government employees,” TNLA spokesperson Oliver Mori Benjamin told reporters in Juba on Friday.

“Alongside with him is the commissioner general of the national revenue authority who is also going to be summoned,” he added.

Mori said the lawmakers want to know the government’s plans to clear the nine-month salary arrears.

“Both of them should appear in one sitting so that they elaborate in detail what their plans are to clear the salary arrears of nine months,” he said.

“This parliament would like to hear from the horse’s mouth and the horse’s mouth here are the minister of finance and the commissioner general for revenue authority,” he added.

The TNLA also wants to know what measures are being taken to prevent future salary delays.

“This is a concern to parliament and to the public as well,” Mori said.

The spokesperson expressed disappointment with the recent decision to pay civil servants only one month’s salary.

“The new minister of finance, we expected him to put a specific program to clear the nine-month delays for the workers. But we were surprised recently that he paid one month for all the civil servants,” Mori said.

The finance minister is also expected to explain why medical allowances for parliamentarians have not been released.
