Egal expert Salem Hawas thought that the House of Representatives’ vote on Wednesday to restore the salaries and allowances of members of the House of Representatives and Council employees after they were cut by the government of Haider al-Abadi were two violations of the law.
In a statement to, Hawass stated that “the Council’s vote contains two legal violations” and that “all the justifications put forward by some members of the House of Representatives regarding the re-increase in salaries and allowances of members of the House of Representatives and employees of the Council have no legal basis.”
“The decision to restore salaries to what they were after they were reduced by the Abadi government as a result of popular pressure is completely contrary to the constitution, as the House of Representatives does not have the authority to legislate any law or issue a decision that has a financial aspect, and raising salaries and allocations of the legislative authority is invalid,” he added. “The decision to restore salaries to what they were after they were reduced by the Abadi government as a result of popular pressure”
“The second violation is borne by the executive and legislative authorities, as what was included in the government program of the Sudanese government, which was voted on by Parliament, obligated the government to reduce the salaries and allocations of the three authorities,” he said. the legislative, executive, and judicial branches.”
In addition to the Federal Court’s decision to address the issue, former Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi had issued an order to reduce MP salaries. However, the former Speaker of the House of Representatives exempted more than 42 general managers from this treatment, and the order was recently invalidated by the judiciary and implemented by the House of Representatives.
