She added that oil wells in Unity were not operational to generate money and that the state needs 940 billion South Sudanese Pounds to get out of the austerity measures. Ms Valentino said the ministry planned this year to give line ministries hundred percent operation costs. She said the government was concerned of security so that officials can carry on their duties. The Minister Lilian explained that payment will begin with organized forces with three months bonus through a committee as directed by the president.
