As announced by the president of the transition, Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguéma, the payment of salary reminders to civil servants will resume this Monday, November 19, 2024, after the electoral truce this weekend. The effectiveness of this measure since last Tuesday, long awaited by state agents, aims to rectify a salary “injustice” which has persisted for decades, rejoice the beneficiaries.
On the ground, the operation is not carried out without dysfunctions and gnashing of teeth in view of the complaints and complaints recorded before the counters and services of the General Directorate of Public Accounting and the Treasury (DGCPT) from the beneficiaries.
Among the problems reported, the illegibility and non-calculation of numerous reminders and processing times for files considered convoluted and slow, we complain. These concerns highlight the need for more effective management of downstream payment operations, but especially upstream support mechanisms.
Pending the reopening of the counters, beneficiaries residing in Libreville are reminded that the distribution of cash vouchers takes place on working days, on the main revenue collection site in Nzeng-Ayong. Other payment sites have been opened at the Okala and Pont Nomba collection points, as well as at the Estuaire provincial treasury, where beneficiaries are expected with a valid identity document.
It is possible to check the positioning of your payment on the site: www.directionsolde.com by entering their balance number (without the letter “m”) followed by their date of birth. For any complaints, go to the competent payroll services in the City Center.
The payment of balance reminders, first phase, concerns a total of 37,139 beneficiaries for an amount of 36 billion CFA francs, representing approximately a third of the debt owed to civil servants, out of a total envelope of just over 12 billion of CFA Francs. Payments will be made by bank transfer for banked agents and by cash voucher for those without bank accounts.
The payment of these reminders is seen as a relief for Gabonese public administration agents, marking an important step towards the regularization of their salary situations. The transitional government maintains its commitment to resolving the irregularities reported and guaranteeing the payment of sums due to all beneficiaries.
