Several public employees say their salaries have been reduced following months of delayed payments, as the Taliban-led administration faces a growing budget shortfall and continues to shrink the public workforce.
Two civil servants from separate ministries confirmed to Amu TV that their salaries had been cut in recent weeks. One said their monthly wage dropped from 23,000 to 17,000 Afghanis, while another reported a decrease from 20,000 to 10,000 Afghanis.
A third employee, however, noted that their salary had been paid in full, though it was delayed by over two months.
