Mandatory and voluntary duties in the salaries of state workers..!! – Strategies – ✍️ Dr. Issam Batran
– I watched the discreet interview conducted by Mr. Mohamed Al-Fateh Ahmed, Vice-President of the Journalists' Union and Editor-in-Chief of the Sudanese newspaper Asdaa, with Dr. Jibril Ibrahim, Minister of Finance and Economic Planning ( President of the Justice and Equality Movement) – Part (2) – on the salaries of workers in the States, and the question raised by the Minister: (State governors must be honest and tell us where goes the salary money).
– First: Salute to Dr. Jibril Ibrahim, Minister of Finance and Economic Planning, who succeeded to a large extent in managing the economy, resources and expenditures of the war, which spared the country from the catastrophe of the he economic collapse, as has happened to many countries have been exposed to such circumstances, disasters and crises.
Second: To make a slight rebuke and clarify the facts regarding Dr. Jibril Ibrahim's statements on workers' salaries in the states. The truth is far from what the minister suggested, in which Dr. Jibril, with his political intelligence, used the method of maneuvering or, in the language of athletes, of “dispersing the ball.”
– 10 days before the start of the war, the Federal Department of Finance disbursed all state workers' salaries for the month of March 2023 AD, in accordance with its commitment to pay them in the absence of the Federal Division Fund resources, which the Federal Ministry of Finance preferred to step away and fulfill its role during this period in exchange for its commitment to pay salaries for a period of more than three years previously.

All of this revenue either went directly to the federal government, which began spending this item lavishly on its employees, or it went to the safe states and increased their wealth, causing the unsafe states with no revenue sources to work to collect the revenue. 30.% coming from federal finances to operate the services, as well as to spend them. Employee salaries are paid at the rate of one month's salary every three months, which has resulted in an accumulation of arrears amounting to 14 months…
The simple truth is that Minister Jibril is fighting a fierce battle to fill the state's public revenue deficit due to the war, but the necessary solutions must be found to the problem of workers' wages in the states, especially in the Khartoum State. where workers demand equality with federal government workers who enjoy higher salaries (month to month and higher allowances) and that they be treated on the basis of equality in injustice and fairness…
– I remember, as well as Sheikh Gabriel, the words of our master Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq, may God be pleased with him: (God, Blessed and Most High, does not accept voluntary prayer as long as obligatory one n 'is not fulfilled.) What is it is not to obtain the desired reward from voluntary prayer unless he fully performs the obligatory duty as God has prescribed, otherwise the lack in obligatory prayer will be compensated, and it is a reality that civil servants do not receive them. salaries (compulsory), while federal civil servants receive incentives and allowances (Nawafil)…
