RAMALLAH, April 9, 2012 (WAFA) – March salary payment for 180,000 Palestinian public civil and military employees will be further delayed, possibly until the middle of this month, Minister of Labor Ahmad Majdalani said Monday.
He said the Palestinian Authority is still waiting for an Algerian fund to be transferred to the PA’s account, which might take some time.
He told Voice of Palestine radio that the PA expects to pay the March salary by the end of this week or possibly early next week.
He urged Arab countries to fulfill their financial obligations to the PA to help it overcome its budget deficit.
