SULAIMANI (ESTA) — The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Council of Ministers is scheduled to discuss the civil servants’ July salary, which has yet to be paid.
The civil servants in the Kurdistan Region are still waiting to receive their salaries for the month of July.
Boycotting public offices, schools, and departments looms as economic uncertainty and public frustration grow due to the government’s failure to distribute the salaries of civil servants on time.
According to estimates, as many as one million people in the Region are named as civil servants, which heavily rely on their monthly incomes for their living costs, leaving direct impacts on the economy.
“The Council of Ministers is set to meet today to specifically discuss the civil servants’ July salary distribution,” the KRG said in a statement on Wednesday.
