The Prime Minister’s Office has asked relevant ministries to propose the National Assembly to consider stopping accepting new contract employees and volunteers to work in government bodies.

The PM’s Office has also proposed placing civil servants’ quota for 2023 at 800 with a priority given to contract employees and volunteers who have been working in rural and remote areas for several years.

The office has also suggested the trial provision of 150,000 kip as a monthly financial incentive for each civil servant and retired official in 2023 to mitigate inflation impacts on their living conditions
