TSU: Salary delays due to flaws inputting data in the computer programme

The Mozambican government said on Tuesday that mistakes in the inputting of data in the computer programme that manages the classification of State Employees and Agents (FAE) in the Single Salary Table (TSU) are the main cause for the delay in processing and payment of civil service salaries.

As of this Tuesday (18), some civil servants, especially teachers working under the Ministry of Education and Human Development (MINEDH), had not yet received their salaries for the month of June.

Media have recently speculated that the situation is due to lack of budgetary capacity.

Questioned on the subject at a press briefing at the end of the 25th session of the Council of Ministers in Maputo yesterday, spokesman Filimão Suaze said there was sufficient budgetary space for the payment of salaries, appealing to state officials and agents to remain calm.

“This is not about lack of money to pay wages. Rather, problems of a procedural nature are behind the delays,” Suaze, who is also deputy minister of Justice, Constitutional and Religious Affairs, said.

“I think the reasons behind the late payment of salaries have to do with problems with the system, problems with frameworks,” he added.

Suaze said the Multi-sectoral Commission for Framing the FAE at TSU, especially for teachers assigned to MINEDH, was committed to solving the issue as soon as possible, but did not advance when that might be.

“I don’t want to say it might be tomorrow or the day after, because, as I said, it is not a negotiable issue. Wages must be paid, and return to the normality of being paid on the usual day,” he stressed.

The government is looking for more effective means to resolve salary arrears, so that the same situation does not recur in the coming months.

In the same session, the Executive approved the Decree that establishes the mechanisms for capturing, by the Public Treasury, and distributing the revenue from the Gaming Revenue Fund.

The instrument aims to ensure the channelling of part of the revenue of the Gaming Revenue Fund to the Public Treasury, addressing the flexibility and dynamism of its operation and providing greater efficiency in the management and allocation of revenue to eligible entities.

In the same session, the government ratified Mozambique’s accession to the Constitution and Convention of the African Telecommunications Union, adopted in 1999 in Cape Town, South Africa, and revised in 2014 in Harare, Zimbabwe.

In the same session, the executive approved the geographic names of various public infrastructures, administrative units and access roads.
