The head of the media team at the Ministry of Finance, Omar Basisa, said in an interview on the Al-Rasmia channel: « The salary transfer that is referred to the Ministry of Finance changes from month to month according to the variables, meaning that there are releases or promotions and others, and these changes occur as a result of monthly salaries from each sector, whether education sector or other sector. The financial values must match the data referred to the Ministry of Finance, and correcting errors in releases or other matters is the right of every employee in all sectors ».
He added: « We know that the Ministry of Finance has established a budget management system that is in line with development, has high accuracy, and is ready to deal with all variables, no matter how many they are, and that the budget management staff have explicit and strict instructions from the Budget Department Director and the Minister of Finance to find out all problems and solve them and establish a mechanism for that, whether from the Ministry of Education or other ministries ».
He also said: « A number of officials responsible for the Ministry of Education’s monitoring of Tripoli attended the Ministry of Finance and Budget. The data were matched and the value of the actual deficit was determined. The observers were asked to refer the detectors that match the actual expenditure for the month of December, and indeed a date was set for delivering the data in the light of which we would decide the solution. A representative of the Ministry of Education attended and told us that the work would be ready on Saturday and it was agreed. ».
He added that it was agreed with all education monitors that several people who have a computer background would be chosen to receive a code for each monitoring, and the variables would be entered monthly for each monitoring so as not to interfere with the Ministry of Finance, in order to overcome all difficulties.
Bsaisa also renewed his call to all Tripoli education supervisors to sit down, document and implement what was agreed upon, and that they, as the Ministry of Finance, are ready to reduce all difficulties for everyone and that their offices are open.
He explained: « Through the meeting, we agreed that all the matching and non-conforming data that have errors are referred to the Ministry of Finance and the disbursement is done by them without referring to the data, but to remedy the matter, we have instructions from the budget manager to solve all problems, and we are committed to the agreement ».
He concluded his speech saying: « The salaries for the month of February were referred to the Central Bank to complete the procedures, and the salaries of the employees of embassies and diplomatic missions were referred for the month of January. Starting from March and April, the date for receiving salaries will begin before the end of the month ».
