Social Solidarity Minister Ghada Wali said that September pensions will be paid on payment date, adding that the ministry will not be able to pay pensions before Eidul Adha vacation for technical reasons.

In statements to MENA Saturday, the minister said the electronic system of paying pensions does not allow to carry out the payment process twice per month.

August pensions have already been paid at the beginning of this month, she underlined.

All needed measures will be taken to make sure that pensioners would easily get their money on due date, she said, noting that about 9.400 million pensioners obtain more than EGP 11 billion.
