Delay in Disbursement of Assistance... 'Ministry of Finance': Responsibility Does Not Lie With Us

The media office of the Ministry of Finance stated: "Regarding the concerns raised about the delay in disbursing school allowances to retired members of the Internal Security Forces, the Ministry of Interior and Municipalities has today announced that the request to transfer the budget allocated for covering the school allowance was referred to the Ministry of Finance on August 12 of this year."

It emphasized: "This is precisely what the Ministry of Finance had been awaiting from the Ministry of Interior and Municipalities. As soon as the request arrived, the ministry immediately began preparing the related decree and taking necessary steps to complete the disbursement process in the near future. It should be noted that the Ministry of Finance had previously completed the disbursement of all school allowances for military forces and retired military personnel whose requests were received, and was merely awaiting the submission of the request to transfer the budget related to the aforementioned assistance."

The media office concluded: "Thus, the Ministry of Interior and Municipalities has clarified the matter with gratitude, clearly acknowledging that the delay is not attributable to the Ministry of Finance."
