Shafaq News / A group of physicians in Al-Sulaymaniyah refused on Tuesday to receive their salaries after the government decided to deduct 21% of them.

 

The Physicians announced in a statement received by Shafaq News agency that they will not receive their salaries for this month unless it is released without deductions.

 

The physicians said that, "if the government does not respond to their demands, they will continue their strike".

 

Kurdistan Regional Government had recently decided to deduct 21% of salaries in light of the decline in oil and non-oil revenues, in addition to the federal government in Baghdad cutting funding for the region’s salaries.
