The Ministry of Finance has clarified the delay in salary payments for civil servants, confirming that the payments scheduled for Thursday, 9th January, have been processed.

According to the Ministry, the delay occurred due to the transition to a new payroll system, replacing the old system used for the past 40 years.

While most civil servants received their pay on time, a few experienced delays in funds being transferred to their bank accounts.

The Ministry assured the public that the transition to the new system is now complete, promising greater efficiency, better controls, and improved data security.

They also confirmed that the initial issues have been resolved, and future payments will be made on time without inconvenience.
