Finance Ministry Says September Salaries Processed on Time

(JUBA) – The Ministry of Finance and Planning has announced that salaries for the month of September 2025 have been processed and paid to civil servants, organised forces and administrative transfers across South Sudan.

In a press release dated 24th September 2025, the Ministry confirmed that all government spending agencies now have funds in their accounts ready for immediate salary payments.

This follows directives from the Vice President for the Economic Cluster, who instructed that monthly salaries should be paid by the 24th day of each month.

Officials described the successful processing of September salaries as an important step in maintaining consistency and trust between government institutions and their employees. According to the Ministry, the move reflects a strong commitment to timely payment, which has been a challenge in the past.

The Ministry also acknowledged the role of leadership, agencies and the media in supporting this process. It pledged to continue working towards inclusive economic recovery, better service delivery and sustainable growth.

The government says the regular and timely payment of salaries is part of its wider economic reforms aimed at building confidence in public institutions.

It believes that stable payment systems will help create an environment where development programmes can succeed and citizens can benefit more directly from national resources.

The statement, signed by Hon. GaiRang Majak, First Undersecretary for Finance, stressed that the Ministry is also working on long-term economic stability. This includes reforms to strengthen service delivery and the implementation of the Revised National Development Strategy.

Copies of the press release were shared with senior government officials, including the Vice President for the Economic Cluster, the Minister of Finance and Planning, and the Minister of Public Service and Human Resources Development.

For many civil servants and members of organised forces, the confirmation of salaries brings some relief at a time when inflation continues to affect household incomes and market prices.
