tldr: The Amhara Regional Health Bureau approved a new overtime pay directive for health professionals, effective July 2018 E.C., but it excludes past arrears, which the Amhara Medical Association insists must still be paid.
#Politics @ByteTikvah
"Unpaid overtime must be paid" - Amhara Medical Association The Amhara Regional Health Bureau announced that the revised directive allowing overtime pay for health professionals has been approved and will be implemented starting from July 2018 E.C. The Amhara Regional Health Bureau, in a document distributed to institutions at various levels, announced that the revised overtime payment for health professionals working in government institutions should be implemented starting from July 1, 2018 E.C., and the deployment made according to the standard should be implemented starting from September 1, 2019 E.C. The Regional Administration Council, in its 7th round, 1st year of term, 1st regular meeting held on July 18, 2018 E.C., discussed and reached a decision on a draft directive issued to determine the conditions and payment for revised overtime pay for health sector workers in the region's government health institutions. The distributed document states that the council agreed that the directive needed revision and approved it. The directive will be effective from July 1, 2018 E.C. A letter signed by the Regional President, Ato Arega Kebede, indicates that the directive is to be implemented starting from July 2018 E.C., when it was approved by the Regional Administration Council, and that it will not accommodate outstanding arrears. The document states that since health sector work is related to life and its service is provided 24 hours a day, including on weekdays, weekends, and public holidays, it was found "necessary to pay a uniform overtime payment" for health professionals assigned to work outside government working hours. According to the directive, what is the amount and calculation of overtime pay? The directive states that a government health sector employee assigned to overtime work will have their regular monthly salary divided by 30 days to get their daily wage, and their daily wage divided by 8 hours to get their hourly wage. Thus, the overtime allowance is calculated as follows: - For overtime work performed on weekdays from 6 PM to 10 PM, the hourly wage for regular work multiplied by 1.25. - For overtime work performed on weekdays from 10 PM to 6 AM, the hourly wage multiplied by 1.5. - For overtime work performed on Saturdays and Sundays, the hourly wage multiplied by 2. - For overtime work performed on public holidays, the hourly wage multiplied by 2.5. - For overtime work performed from 5:30 AM to 6 PM and from 6 AM to 8:30 AM, the hourly wage multiplied by 1. The directive states that if a public holiday falls on a Sunday or Saturday, payment will be calculated based on the public holiday rate, and since overtime pay derived from regular salary is difficult for living expenses, an allowance approved for desert or frost-prone areas will be implemented. Relatedly, the directive states that any professional assigned to overtime work is expected to report their work output to the service quality control department on the same day, adding, "If this is not done, even if overtime work is performed, payment cannot be made." What laws are repealed by this directive? It is mentioned that Regional Administration Council Directive 20/2017 E.C. for determining on-call duty and other benefits for health institutions serving health institutions is repealed by this directive. Additionally, previous circular letters determining overtime payment methods are repealed by this directive. Despite these two repeal provisions, it is understood that other benefits previously approved, unrelated to overtime work but covered by this directive, will continue as they are. On the other hand: While the letter associated with this directive indic...

The landlord and tenant contract renewal period has been extended. The Addis Ababa Housing Development and Administration Bureau announced that the deadline for landlord and tenant contract registration and renewal has been extended until Pagume 5, 2018 E.C. The bureau stated that it extended the deadline due to the presence of landlords and tenants who were unable to renew their contracts for various reasons, and due to repeated requests from the community. Therefore, the bureau urged all landlords and tenants who have not renewed their contracts to do so by Pagume 5, by appearing at sub-cities, Mesob One centers, and designated service locations.

tldr: The Addis Ababa Revenues Office is cracking down on car importers and agents for widespread tax evasion and illegal sales, suspending licenses and enforcing strict regulations on transactions and sales locations.
#Business @ByteTikvah
"Some importers have the idea that the action being taken by the office is temporary and will cease after some time. But the action will continue" - Ato Mohammed Abdurahman. Ato Mohammed Abdurahman, Deputy Head of the Legal Compliance Sector at the Addis Ababa Revenues Office, announced that an entity with a regional car import business license must sell newly imported cars in the region where the license was issued. If they wish to trade in the capital, they must present their regional business license, sales receipt, and sales registration machine to the Revenues Office, and pay monthly Value Added Tax (VAT) as well as annual taxes. The official stated, "Agents who sell used cars should under no circumstances receive and sell new cars from importers." He explained, "Every commission agent must report the car ownership certificate (libretto), license plate number, and various detailed information of the cars placed in their showroom to the nearest tax authority branch office." He added, "Furthermore, agents have signed a contract and taken an oath obliging them to register used cars within 24 hours of bringing them into their showrooms." The official recalled that previously, no transactions were recorded when used cars were sold, and only annual taxes were paid. He stated, "Currently, the tax revenue the office is losing from this is concerning, so commission agents must regularly report car transaction taxes to the branch office where they pay their taxes when selling used cars." He said, "It is unknown who the importers are that bring new cars sold at showrooms owned by individuals with commission agent business licenses, but these new cars are displayed and sold in showrooms across the city. The license at the showroom where the cars are found is either an individual's or a commission agent's license." He stated, "We have discovered that car importers were committing widespread tax evasion by under-invoicing the actual selling price of their cars on receipts and depositing the revenue into two or three bank accounts." He explained, "Some also display car import business licenses, but they only import two or three new cars from abroad. However, 40 to 60 new cars are found in their showrooms. When we investigated where these cars came from, we found they were brought by various unidentified car importers." He said, "We have also found individuals with commission agent licenses selling used cars. Unidentified importers have also been found operating under commission agent licenses." He announced, "Large car transactions occur daily in the capital, but the importer is not clearly identified. Therefore, we have temporarily suspended the licenses of individuals engaged in the commission agent business sector." He also explained, "New cars found improperly displayed and sold under commission agent licenses have been directly returned to the importers." He warned, "Some importers believe that the action being taken by the office is temporary and will cease after some time. Because of this, they are storing their cars in various private locations and warehouses and continuing their operations. We will take action against these as well." He stated, "The office has inspection staff who conduct door-to-door inspections, warehouse monitoring, and vehicle inspections. Through this, cars are being found transported from one place to another, and hidden cars have also been discovered during door-to-door inspections." The official, who stated, "We have identified and finalized the number of car warehouses in Addis Ababa at the office level," announced that the office would take necessary action if any cars are found illegally stored in warehouses.

tldr: Professor Yacob Arsano highlighted Ethiopia's significant water development, like the Koysha Dam, for domestic use and regional power export, boosting its regional influence.
#Politics @ByteTikvah
"Our youth and the next generation, because water is Ethiopia's greatest resource, we believe they will continue and push forward with water development" - Professor Yacob Arsano. Professor Yacob Arsano, Professor of Political Science and International Relations at Addis Ababa University and a former member of the Renaissance Dam negotiating team, stated that Ethiopia is demonstrating a great potential to manage its water and supply it to itself and its neighbors. The day before yesterday, during his visit to the Koysha hydropower dam, Professor Yacob Arsano had a brief discussion with Tikvah Ethiopia. What did Professor Yacob Arsano say? "The Koysha Dam is one of the largest dams being built in Ethiopia. It is the fourth on the Gibe River. Many more dams will be built in Ethiopia in the future. For the dams built so far, this is one of the enhancements, showing Ethiopia's capacity to work, and secondly, its power generation capacity. It demonstrates Ethiopia's great potential to manage its water and supply it to itself and its neighbors, so I am very happy to be here today. The current usage we have started and adopted is very good. It has been a year since the Grand Renaissance Dam was completed and inaugurated; we generate significant power from it. It has increased Ethiopia's electricity supply by 100 percent. When this is added, we can estimate how much it will increase. Since this is 1,800 megawatts, it is an addition. Therefore, I believe we should continue this water, especially dam construction, on our other rivers as well. For Ethiopia, these dam projects and water developments are beginnings, starting points, learning experiences, and capacity builders. So, our youth and the next generation, because water is Ethiopia's greatest resource, we believe they will continue and push forward with water development. This is not only for our own development but also our greatest potential to connect with our neighbors. The work done so far has shown us a lot; we sell electricity to Sudan, Djibouti, Kenya, Tanzania, and in the future, our capacity to sell to Somalia and others will increase. To that extent, we will also connect them through neighborliness. To that extent, our stature, our influence in our region will increase, and our diplomacy will rise. Since our water resource is the foundation of everything, this is a great demonstration; I have great faith that we will continue with it in the future," he stated.
