All of us know that a month has 30 to 31 days, but this fact is no more effective for the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank in addition to government administrations where the month lasts for more than 40 days if not more. And thus state employees in general and those of Ministry of Education in particular have to wait endlessly before receiving their salaries and they have to put up with the abuses of the owners of their rented houses and the owners of the supermarkets.

It is not only this, but there is still a bitter fact that this salary, though not enough, is subject to deductions under different sorts of names. Ultimately the poor employee finds himself unable to meet his children, wife and house's increasing needs amidst the waves of increase in prices of goods and commodities nor to settle his debts.

We herein ask the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank and the respective government administrations and other concerned authorities to have mercy on the poor employees and to facilitate the task before them as it is the case across the world. They need not more routine, no more pain as they already have enough. They have got tired and they can bear no more.
