President Abdel Fattah El Sisi ordered on Thursday taking all needed measures to pay the annual increase to employees unlisted in the Civil Service Law (CSL).

Prime Minister Sherif Ismail said the government will discuss in its coming meeting a draft law to grant a 10-percent annual allowance to employees, who are not included in the Civil Service Law.

The bill will later be referred to the parliament for approval, he added.

Finance Minister Amr El Garhy said three million public servants will make use of the bill, adding that the annual increase, totaling 2.5 billion pounds, will be retroactively effective as of 1/7/2016.
