The head of the Finance Committee in the House of Representatives, Omar Tantoush, said that the issue of the unified law for the salaries of the administrative structure funded by the public treasury, is not easy because there are a large number of special tables amounting to more than 35 special tables for bodies, institutions and others, and it takes time to develop a unified law that combines all these tables.
During his speech at the session today, Tuesday, Tintoush added that the Parliament’s Finance Committee will sit today or tomorrow with the Legislative Committee for consultation, because there are some laws of a special nature and some parties have an independent nature such as the judiciary, and it is necessary to consult on them and whether these bodies enter into the unified law or will be included in the Unified Salary Law.
As for the investment portfolios law, Tintoush explained that these portfolios were established by a decision of the General People’s Committee previously, but the law has not been set. « We have submitted a memorandum to the Economic and Social Development Fund to provide detailed explanations on the investment portfolios, and the Fund alerted the Finance Committee to the need to be controlled by law and then release the freeze on those portfolios.
He indicated that among those caveats that the Fund drew attention to is controlling duplication and submitting documents that prove the lack of income for families benefiting from the governor and amendments regarding the subsidy that was disbursed to some families from the Social Security and Solidarity Funds and other matters that need to be amended to set the law before the release of the actual numbers owed to the governor.
