The Minister of Public Sector  and Political Development, Mazen Saket, denied postponing or cancelling the project for restructuring the public sector, adding that talking about this issue is part of a campaign aimed at derailing the project.

Saket stressed the ongoing process of restructuring which includes studying the institutions and their salaries in addition to using three teams specialized in studying legislation, the organization, human resources, and financial budgets.

He said that the program depends on the time it takes to implement restructuring in each institution. Some can apply it in six months while other institutions may need three months, it just depends on the organization's ability.

The salary restructuring program begins the first of August and will continue until the end of December. The program needs two months to a year and a half to restructure the institutions, according to Saket.

He explained that the completion of the institution restructuring program depends on the time frame of these institutions, "There are institutions that do not need to work on this for more than two months, others need a full year."

He added that the restructuring salaries program, "Needs to adopt the civil service system, which is now ready and will be submitted to the Council of Ministers. It must be implemented within the independent institutions according to each case, studied, and given an adequate allowance within each institution."

It was announced that the Coordinating Committee for Higher Workers in Governmental Bodies and Independent Institutions is organizing a sit-in, on Tuesday, July 5th, that will begin next to the Agricultural Credit Corporation and end in a protest in front of the Parliamentary.

The committee decided to implement an open-ended sit-in, everyday, and in every district from eight to ten o'clock am beginning on Wednesday July 6 in response to demands, committee meetings, and the announcement of open-ended strikes in all institutions.

The statement said that the government did not respond to the demands of the MPS and needs to reconsider the restructuring draft, especially with regard to independent institutions and their employees' salaries, and the restructuring that will bring the reform desired.
