In a public post, the MP pointed out that the document had been registered on the Parliament’s website and is due to be debated in parliamentary committees as early as tomorrow morning.
“Just 10 minutes ago, the draft law on reforming the unified pay system in the public sector was published on the Moldovan Parliament’s website. And tomorrow morning, the draft is already due to be examined by the parliamentary committees! Yet another draft examined overnight!”, wrote Olga Ursu.
This reaction comes after the Government approved the bill in question at today’s meeting. According to the Government, the new law aims to eliminate pay inequalities, increase basic salaries and remunerate employees according to the complexity and responsibility of their roles.
The reform is expected to affect approximately 172,000 public sector employees, for whom the authorities estimate an average pay rise of 15.7 per cent.
The urgent consideration of legislative initiatives is an issue that has been repeatedly highlighted by monitoring organisations. For example, according to a report by the Promo-LEX Association on the plenary session of 5 November, several breaches of legal procedures were identified.
For four draft laws, the statutory 10-working-day period between registration and the first-reading vote – a period set aside for recommendations from stakeholders – was not observed.
In the case of five draft laws, mandatory documents were missing prior to the sitting (reports, co-reports and legal opinions), whilst for four initiatives, the committees approved the reports on the very day of their consideration in plenary.
