He added, “This delay is a clear violation of the Financial Management Law, which prompted us to resort to the judiciary to determine the real reasons behind the delay and hold the negligent parties accountable.”
He pointed out that “the government bears full responsibility for the disruption of financial and operational activities, in addition to the delay in employees’ entitlements to bonuses, promotions and other financial rights.”
