Minister of Finance… Governor of the Bank of Sudan… Reforming the economy ✍️ Muhammad Othman Al-Radi
The ministries of the economic sector do not work in harmony and perfect coordination with each other, as if they were isolated roots without any link to connect them.
During my last meeting with the Governor of the Bank of Sudan, Borai Al-Siddiq, I felt through his conversation that the Ministry of Finance was counting on him to pay the salaries of the regular forces.
So I asked myself a question: if the Governor of the Bank of Sudan provides the state with the salaries of the workers in the first chapter, then what is the role of the Federal Ministry of Finance???.
The Governor of the Bank of Sudan has a direct line with the Chairman of the Sovereignty Council, responds to his requests and implements his proposals to resolve economic problems. The best proof of this is General Al-Burhan's decision to subordinate the Bank of Sudan to the Bank of Sudan. Sovereignty Council.
I had the feeling that all effective and important economic institutions decided to leave the house of obedience to the Minister of Finance and rushed to the presidential palace and resumed their normal position.
The tax office left the position of the Ministry of Finance and the Council of Ministers announced the specifications of the secretary general for the next office, and the position was offered for free competition in accordance with the specified requirements.
Only the customs forces remain, which provide 60% of the state's total public revenue, and the customs issue is very confusing. Technically, customs belongs to the Ministry of Finance and administratively to the Ministry of the Interior.
I have a very strong feeling that there is a strong trend to gut and expand the Ministry of Finance by removing sources of revenue, and perhaps parallel agencies will emerge to carry out the tasks of the ministry.
This fierce campaign to which Finance Minister Jibril Ibrahim is subjected these days did not come out of nowhere. She has overt and hidden motivations, and they are many.
The one who controls money will certainly not and will not be accepted and loved by everyone, and everyone seeks to gain his affection and satisfaction, and some get angry with him for or without reason.
