The House of Representatives is waiting for the government to present the "reform plan" promised by the Minister of Finance to avoid economic and financial crises, at a time when the Finance Committee in the House of Representatives ruled out a delay in the delivery of salaries for the coming months.

Committee member Jamal Kujer said in a statement
