Angolan Government Proposes Reforms for Transparency in Civil Service Pay

Luanda: The Cabinet Council has recommended that the Head of the Executive Branch approve a presidential decree to enhance transparency in the remuneration system for civil servants. The proposal includes the introduction of a reference catalog for public functions, aimed at clarifying and systematizing profession qualifiers within the civil service.

According to Angola Press News Agency, the decision was made during the 5th Ordinary Session chaired by President Joo Louren§o. The new legal tool is designed to align the nomenclature of public administration categories with both international and Angolan classification standards for occupations. This initiative is part of a broader effort to bring clarity and order to the civil service profession qualifiers.

Additionally, the Cabinet Council has approved changes to base salaries for employees of the State Information and Security Service (SINSE) and the Foreign Intelligence Service (SIE). This salary adjustment is intended to restore the purchasing power of civil servants and administrative agents, while also enhancing the dignity and quality of public services offered to citizens.

In the realm of oil production, the government discussed amendments to the production sharing agreement for the block 15 concession area. The proposed changes aim to incentivize investment and extend the operational life of block 15 facilities, ensuring continued oil operations.

Furthermore, the meeting saw the approval of the Regulation of Passenger Road Terminals. This legislation is set to establish rules for the organization, operation, management, and maintenance of passenger road terminals, as well as the construction, certification, licensing, and concession of these infrastructures.

The regulation aims to guarantee the quality and safety of services provided by operators in this segment and consolidate a structured network of road passenger transport at the national level. This network guarantees greater mobility and convenience for people and goods while ensuring intermodality and modal complementarity.
