The Central Equatoria State Council of Ministers has approved a 100 per cent pay rise for all state civil servants.
This came after the regular cabinet meeting held on Wednesday, chaired by Governor Emmanuel Adil Anthony.
The state minister of education, Cirisio Zakaria Lado, said the meeting deliberated on an emerging memo presented by the Ministry of Labour, Public Service and Human Resource Development on the approval of the nature of the working allowance for all civil servants.
Speaking during the discussion, Governor Adil directed the state ministries of finance, investment and economic planning, and public service and human resource development to implement the council’s resolution effectively and harmonise the payrolls of each of the government’s institutions, respectively.
He further ordered all teachers in Central Equatoria State to resume their designated duties without further engaging themselves in any politically oriented course, whatever the case may be.
Meanwhile, the Minister of Local Government and Law Enforcement Agency, Issac Moro Jenesio, to brief the cabinet on their recent trip to Kajo-Keji County and Uganda’s district of Moyo.
Andruga Mabe, the State Minister of Information and Communication, who also serves as the state official spokesperson, said Moyo District engagement, was majorly on cross-border security, trade, cattle herders, and logging.
The said meeting also focused on the return of the refugees, and the general security situation.
Since the beginning of this year, the CES teachers, through their union, have laid down their tools over what they called “the striping of the nature of the work allowance column.”
Last week, a group of students from the 10 secondary schools in Juba staged a protest at the offices of the ministry of education to find out why teachers are not coming to classes.
The minister and Juba City Mayor Allah-Jabu appealed to the students to return home and avoid being used by politicians.
