The permanent secretaries of government ministries, responsible for filling in the salary sheets, have become collateral damage in the scrap between the finance ministry and the Civil Service Commission (CSC).
The CSC has ordered permanent secretaries to submit the sheets with salaries at the levels prior to the government’s reductions in October, while the finance ministry has threatened legal action against any civil servants who fill in the salary sheets according to the restored amount.
”We are very disappointed and we do not know what to do now,” said the permanent secretary of the home ministry, Maryam Waheeda.
Waheeda said she had submitted the salary sheet according to the restored amount yesterday, as instructed by the CSC, but the finance ministry had sent it back.
