Due to the rise in exchange rates…a parliamentary movement to speed up the approval of the “salary scale”
2/13/2024 – Baghdad
Independent MP Nazem Al-Shibli stressed today, Tuesday, the necessity of accelerating the approval of the new salary scale to address fluctuations in prices due to the continuous rise in the exchange rate of the dollar against the local currency.
Al-Shibli said in an interview followed by Al-Iqtisad News, “There is a parliamentary move to accelerate the completion and approval of the new salary scale to raise the salaries of those with lower grades, improve their living conditions, and confront fluctuations in market prices.”
He added, “The government must explain the steps it has taken regarding amending the salary scale for state employees, which will contribute to achieving social justice.”
Al-Shibli pointed out that “there is a large disparity in salaries within the same category in state ministries, despite the similarity of working hours.”
Most employees in state departments are still awaiting a decision from the government regarding the new salary scale, especially after many parliamentary requests to prepare the scale to achieve justice among employees in various ministries.
The Presidency’s Media Department denied what was broadcast by one of the channels about President Abdel Latif Gamal Rachid submitting a request to visit America, describing the widespread information as “misleading”, stressing that it has nothing to do with reality. LINK
