The government owes Rf443 million (US$34 million) in unpaid salaries and allowances to civil servants following yesterday’s High Court upholding of a Civil Court ruling that salaries be restored to pre-cut levels and the balance repaid.
The Civil Service Commission (CSC) took the Finance Ministry to court last year after it refused to restore the salaries in January 2010 following three months of austerity measures.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has pressured the government to reduced its civil service spend to reduce its deficit. The government has not said whether it plans to appeal.
