By Taban Gabriel<\/span><\/p>\n

The South Sudan Workers Trade Union (SSWTU) has raised alarm over the worsening economic situation in the country after prices of commodities increased in the past weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Secretary General of the Union, George Paul Baya says the current economic state of affairs is very dire and requires quick intervention from concerned authorities.<\/span><\/p>\n

He is deeply worrying about the situations of civil servants countrywide mostly affected by the economic meltdown.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr. Paul’s concerns of salary delay a problem with high instability in the market, barred some families from registering their children in schools and covering their medical bills.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Union\u2019s Secretary appeals to the government to quickly intervene and save the country from the current crisis.<\/span><\/p>\n

Paul claimed that employees at the States and National Ministries have not received their salaries for five to seven months respectfully.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

The SSWTU SG further calls on the National government to come to the aid of workers from Western Equatoria’s former 32 States who according to him have not received their salaries for three years now.<\/span><\/p>\n

Catholic Radio Network couldn\u2019t independently verify the claims made by the Union on the number of months civil servants were not paid. Last month, the Ministry of Finance and Planning announced to pay the government workers the salary of September 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
