Makary Says Cabinet Postpones Discussions Over Public Administration Employees’ Allowances Pending Clear Numbers

Caretaker Minister of Information, Ziad Makary confirmed in the wake of the cabinet session that discussions tackling transportation and productivity allowances for public administration employees had been postponed “pending clear numbers from the concerned authorities,” adding that the cabinet has approved granting teachers 5 liters of gasoline.

Makary also announced the approval of an advance to the benefit of “Ogero” employees; however, he noted that items 2, 3 and 4 on compensations have been postponed.

Moreover, Makary stressed that the Council of Ministers had also approved the request of the High Commission for Relief to complete the inspection of the cracked buildings by municipalities and requested an advance to cover the expenses.

The Information Minister finally confirmed that the Council of Ministers had also approved the appointment of assistant professors and full-time professors at the Lebanese University — an item that wasn’t on today’s agenda.
