Continues uncontrolled spending on state money: Civil servants ransomed by 300 euros

The government led by Ramush Haradinaj has continued with the practice initiated since receiving the mandate for uncontrolled distribution of financial means.

As KTV learns, about 50 civil servants, employees in Government have been rewarded late last year with 300 euros.

This amount of money has been given to civil servants whose wages have not been raised, at the time when Prime Minister Haradinaj raised his 100 percent salary.

It has been two days since KTV has asked the prime minister's office for details of this decision, but have said a detailed response will be made during Wednesday.

However, Haradinaj's office has confirmed the distribution of money, calling it a practice to be implemented in recent years. But KTV realizes that the amount, in previous years, has been 100 euros.

This is a form of payment that has been practiced in the last 7 years. By contrast, this year's beneficiary has been a smaller number of employees and those who have no leadership positions. In this fee, there are not persons involved who have had an increase in pay or political staff. It's about 50 people and the exact amount and the exact number of beneficiaries, we can call you tomorrow. All payments at the prime minister's office are made through the” bank.

Kosovo Civil Service Union Chairman Mursel Zymberi has said over the phone that this government decision is trying to buy social calm.

According to him, all civilian servants who have been dissatisfied with the decision to raise salaries, the Government has rehabilitated them by 300 euros.

In December 2017, Prime Minister Haradinaj, with a multi-contested decision, raised his salary 100 per cent to 2950 euros.

Pay increases also benefited deputy prime ministers, advisers, and other government employees.

This decision to raise wages had caused disappointment with civil servants of the government administration who had gone on strike.
