GILBAKKA'S OBSERVATIONS:
[1] 27 coalition ministers are now paid a combined annual salary of $262,899,600 so that they won't "thief all over the place."
[2] The numbers above represent basic salary, excluding allowances.
[3] I don't know President Granger's basic salary.
[4] In other threads I notice some members are converting these numbers and comparing Guyana's ministers' salaries to Canadian ministers' salaries. How about comparing Guyanese public servants' salaries to Canadian public servants' salaries?
[5] I understand that local government elections will be held next April, after the national budget is passed in parliament. I want to believe that the coalition will give public servants, nurses, teachers, policemen etc big salary increases so they too won't have to "thief all over the place."
Overall, I think the coalition has slipped up here and there but I am hopeful that better must come before 2020.
