Ramallah – The Coalition for Accountability and Integrity (AMAN) is of the view that the statement issued by the Ministry of Finance (MoF) on the monthly payments to ministers neither affirms nor denies circulated information in this regard (monthly salary + benefits).
The MoF statement does not state the amounts and financial benefits it mentions, nor does it make reference to the cited article under the Financial Regulation. This exacerbates the state of uncertainty among the Palestinian public and spreads more rumours and misinformation on social media platforms, particularly against the backdrop of the financial crisis affecting the Palestinian Authority.
AMAN will follow up on this issue with official bodies to uncover the truth about what is going on. Expressing a clear position, AMAN has always called for compliance with the law. Any changes beyond the scope of law are deemed to be infractions, which the government is liable for. AMAN calls on the Prime Minister to clearly and transparently announce the true payment amounts.
