The government has extended the deadline for paying the salaries of police and defense personnel using both the new "e-folha" system and the old system until September this year, according to the spokesman for the Council of Ministers.

"The salaries of the PRM and Defense have been taken care of within the framework in which they were directed. We are in the final stages of this process. It is a work of continuity and payments have even been made on parallel sheets to ensure that no one is left out. However, there is ongoing work to allow payments to take place on the platform set up for this purpose. Until this happens, the parallel sheets will continue to be used until September at the latest, when it is thought that the migration and registration processes for all members of the Defense and Security Forces will have been completed," said Inocêncio Impissa on Tuesday (22), after the 30th Ordinary Session of the Council of Ministers.

Last week, after the 29th session of the Executive, the Deputy Minister of Economy and Finance, Amílcar Tivane, said that the FDS salaries would be paid in this way until August. Read more...

This measure followed an order publicly expressed by the President of the Republic, Filipe Nyusi, to use the old payroll system and to honor the duty of salaried FDS staff, who until then had been off the e-leaf. Read more...

Impissa said that the work to verify the data of the Defense and Security Forces (FDS) personnel who are not included in the new payroll system, as well as the budgetary impact, is still underway, "but already in the final stages".

"Actions are underway to stabilize the processing of salaries in the Defence and Security Forces, namely the completion of the registration of employees who are still missing, who had to be paid alternatively via a parallel sheet," he said.

The audit into the effectiveness of the salary payment system for FDS and civilian staff is still ongoing and will possibly be completed in September, the spokesman said.

On the other hand, he revealed that 63% of state employees and agents have already had their August salaries processed. "This means that before the 30th, in principle, the 100% of civil servants should have received their salaries."
