New strategy for improving employees wages [Archives:2002/37/Local News]

Dr. Abdulwahab Raweh, the Minister of Civil Services and Administrative Reform revealed in his lecture at Asaeed Foundation last Thursday that the government is preparing a strategy to improve the wages of the public sector employees based on their qualifications.
These reforms are to be carried out due to the big administrative disorders in terms of efficiency. “We have 460.000 employees while the well-qualified employees do not exceed 16 % and about 84 % have secondary schools certificates or below that” said Dr. Raweh. He said that the unbalanced distribution of employees in the governorates is another problem as 80 % of the labor force concentrated on the centers of the governorates besides the lack of the qualitative specialization. ” We have 36000 employees at the health ministry, 25000 dual posts and 35000 retired cases. Therefore, the educational outputs should match the market needs as it is the same needs of development” He added.
