Centre for Peace and Advocacy (CPA) calls on South Sudan government to honor its obligation to provide civil servants with fair and transparent salaries.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n In a press release seen by this outlet, CPA expressed concern over reports that many civil servants receive a meager monthly payment ranging from 50,000 to 100,000 South Sudanese Pounds (SSP).<\/p>\n The amounts are regarded as inadequate and not able to meet basic expenses, especially in light of the escalating cost of living that has gripped the nation.<\/p>\n \u201cPaying salaries to civil servants is not a privilege, it is a constitutional right and a cornerstone of government accountability and service delivery,\u201d CPA said in a statement.<\/p>\n In addition to advocating for fair payment, the organization demands the government discloses the salary each civil servant is entitled to and the actual amounts being disbursed.<\/p>\n \u201cTransparency and accountability are essential to restoring trust in public institutions and ensuring the dignity of civil servants who serve the nation\u201d.<\/p>\n CPA further, reiterated its support for all public workers and demands that the government pays adequate salaries and timely.<\/p>\n The statement described the alternative payments that are currently being issued as “empty gestures” that jeopardize the livelihoods of those who work hard to support their families.<\/p>\n In a circular dated May 19, 2025, the Ministry of Finance highlighted a critical transition to a bank-based salary payment system.<\/p>\n This transition is a crucial aspect of implementing a comprehensive Human Resource Management Information System (HRMIS) that includes a biometrically integrated payroll system.<\/p>\n This transformation aims to streamline salary disbursements, enhance operational efficiency, and address liquidity shortages that have plagued cash-based payment systems in recent months, ultimately benefiting both civil servants and the effectiveness of the public sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Lodu William Odiya Centre for Peace and Advocacy (CPA) calls on South Sudan government to honor its obligation to provide civil servants with fair and transparent salaries.
