The Ministry of Finance has filed a case with the police asking them to investigate the Civil Service Commission (CSC) on suspicion of trying to topple the government.
A press release issued by the ministry claims the court case recently filed against it by CSC over the salary issue is an attempt “to sow discord between the government and public.”
The ministry further accused the CSC of trying to “bring the government to a halt”, and claiming certain members of the CSC were using the issue as a cover to attain “a hidden political agenda.”
“The CSC is making it difficult for the government to implement the necessary economic policies [and are therefore] indirectly trying to damage the economy,” the statement said.
