Abbas: PA pays salaries to "60-70 thousand [PA] civil servants who aren’t working"
|
PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas: "Since [Hamas’] coup against the PA (in 2007), and until today, we’ve been transferring more than 50% of our [PA] budget to Gaza, including [salaries] to 60-70,000 [PA] civil servants who aren’t working. They are [in the Gaza Strip] and are receiving salaries. We pay them because they stopped working, so Hamas came and appointed other people in their place."
Note: The average monthly salary for a PA civil servant was 2,882 shekels ($795) as of 2011. [Life and the Market supplement to Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, June 19, 2011] The 60,000 PA workers receive $47 million a month - not to work.
