A member of the Transitional National Legislative Assembly (TNLA) on Wednesday urged the Ministry of Finance to suspend the allocation of the oil revenues to infrastructure projects and channel the funds to the civil servants’ salaries and wages.

Changkuoth Bichiock Reth, who is the Chairperson of Committee for Finance and Economic Planning, urged the government to revisit their priorities.

“Suspend the resolution of the Council of Ministers which allocates the Nile Blend Oil in Block 1,2,4 and 5A for infrastructure development projects and redirect it to clear the wages and salaries for the entire government,” Reth said.
