Who did this 😂😂

Thank you Mom, Dad, and coffee ☕️🫶🫶

As we heard that The National Minister of Finance and Planning said the government does not have enough resources to sustain the 400% salary adjustment approved in the 2023/2024 budget.

Let forget about the 2023/2024 Budget, Here is the really Spending of MoFEP.

Is South Sudan Functioning Now With 2023/24 Budget considering 5 months no Salaries?

Definitely No. The budget that was passed by August House in earlier September have not materialised.
The situation of South Sudan is too complex to discern if you are not having the tough knowledge.

I'm wondering how things will work out.

1. First of all, the TNLA passed a budget based on 400% increment for civil servants and organised forces salaries as dictated then.
However the pay structure that materialised is about 1400%.
I cannot explain this because it is a matter of security.
Even the minister won't explain it.
IO and other opposition walked out then demanding 600% they should be glad the President later approved more than they fought for.
Don't be misled by claims it is allowances that were forgotten then that brought figures of 1400% or a private soldier who was to receive SSP10,750 now receiving SSP40,000.
Total Pay bill a month so far SSP82 billion.

2. Then boom another issue.
The minister said now the money was too big and if ghost names exist people will eat a lot of money.
So, they hurriedly came up with committees to pay salaries for July in order to recover some money .
The committees are still paying people and the cost of such committees has run into billions .
Did the August House budget for this? Definitely, no. We wasted time debating a budget which was presented without plans.

3. Further the Executive realised pay increment mentioned only civil servants and organised forces and while messengers and drivers were now earning around SSP50,000 for July 2023 ministers true salary were around SSP30,000.
The mistake was discussed in the Council of Ministers and a new committee was formed to come up with new salary structure for all ministers and MPs in the country, including the states this time. Even President and Vice President are now included .
President at SSP 7 million a month.
This is a huge new budget because I was hearing VP and Speaker at 5 million SSP while national ministers at 4 million. National MPs may receive SSP3 million and state Ministers at 3 million SSP if implemented as planned.

4. Further issue is coming up because if we compare salaries like Emolument Act 2010, then sorry we have not raised salaries well enough for organised forces generals who are now around SSP200,000.
A general- Maj-Gen of Army /Police must be at equivalent levels with National MPs and so we made grave mistake by trying to raise salaries in bits .
We must start fresh again.

5. Then comes the public universities who have been setting up their own salary structure because of failure to make a workable system since devaluation in 2015.

With these circle of events I'm not sure the Ministry of Finance can afford now to pay monthly salaries plus all the spending bills mentioned.

Not realising the gravity of the situation some MPs are asking about the supplementary budget which was to be tabulated by the minister by November.

Where will the budget passed by TNLA fit into this chaos and confusion?
How many people know what is going on exactly? Without good planning you cannot really have a workable budget.

Now we have another serious issue war in Sudan is starting to shut down oil pipelines.
South Sudan is really cursed.

Ready for the next 🫶🏿
