The Prime Minister stressed the need for all ministries to continue coordination with the Federal Ministry of Finance to ensure the disbursement of the region’s salaries. The list of salary recipients and the trial balance of the region’s revenues and expenditures must be sent to the federal government in a timely manner and without any negligence.
