I have to give you credit, you are more objective than I thought and a high degree of value on equity ans fairness.  On this count, baseman and you coincide.  These latest position you took has caused me to step back and reevaluate my assessment of you.

Who knows, maybe out of this will come a true credible nationalist 3rd party uniting the people and bringing responsible government.  I thought this was the AFC back in 2011 and after interacting with them, I realize these were PPP rejects seeking revenge and their "day in the sun".  The lack of intellectual honesty and anti-PPP anger was so palpable, gave an uncomfortable feeling of what they would actually do should they gain power.  I could not reconcile with this mindset.

Baseman was ridiculed, cussed and lots of lies spread to discredit/discourage and shut me up.  Baseman will prove to be correct in his assessment.  However, I must say, HE Granger has [thus far] been my biggest disappointment, if this turns out to be true.

the Bajan PM base salary in 2011-2012 was $US100k

what's your point?

Who gives a shit about your evaluation and asessment? You are a racist prick. Not just ethnically insecure, but racist down past your drawse and into the very core of your being. The unconscious ease with which you spew racist bile testifies to that.

I do not agree with Carib on everything but since I was a reader he has said CONSISTENTLY that both sides are responsible for our racial quagmire and has chastised both blacks and Indians, including Burnham. That you and the Indo KKK brand him racist for daring to chastise Indians for their share of racism is proof enough of alyuh naked racism. Alyuh superior, and bear no responsibility nor are open to any criticism. Black man must bow and tek it from "alyuh".

We blacks are not clannish like you and your clown Indo KKK friends. Not afraid to criticize our bretheren. And in this case, this hefty pay increase is a bad idea by the coalition. Yes, it does have merit in terms of helping to stem corruption etc, but how can one propose this after disclosing that the treasury is empty, major industries are in a tailspin and they are barely 100 days in office?????? This is a time for austerity, not increases. Perform and then increase salaries when things are better.

Quite obvious.  Compare Barbados GDP per capita with Guyana's.  Compare what teachers in Barbados get, compared to Guyana.

Note that a more appropriate comparison would be with Granger's salary, which will be higher than the PMs.

Thank you for corroborating the fact that I have been quite open about African racism, and about how Burnham treated Indians.

They have already called you a racist, but then they don't know what a racist is.

The raping of Guyana continues.  Looks like this is going to be a one-term government.  These people are paying themselves super salaries in a donkey cart economy.  What a shame.

I guess we have to wait and see what the true numbers are.  I think the current salaries and perks are too high much less and increase. How can these people feel the pain of 99% of the population. Do not expect much from Moses as far as talking out against this type of increase.

These PNC boys are not going anywhere. The have already started the Rigging Process.

Moses quiet, quite. He got his $ 18 million House upgrade.

Moses is afraid of Supremacist Harmon.

The reason the PNC are so callous is they don't care about voting anymore.  The AFC can go to hell, the new coalition in town not is PNC/GDF.

[www.inewsguyana.com] – Finance Minister, Winston Jordan has confirmed that the salaries for Government Ministers, Presidential Advisors and Members of Parliament may get a salary increase pending the outcome of considerations.

This is after reports surfaced in the media that the APNU+AFC administration was considering a 100% increase for its officials and members of the National Assembly.

When contacted, Jordan told iNews on August 01, that the salaries for these officials were “under active consideration.” However the Finance Minister did not state what amount the increases would be since according to him, it is being considered.

[GILBAKKA'S COMMENT: Guyana Times exaggerated the size of the impending salary increases. Still, this is not the time for the coalition government to even consider such a move, having already declared that it inherited an empty treasury. The Guyanese people at large will reason that if there is money to finance increases for ministers and parliamentarians, there is money to pay public servants the promised 20 percent hike. Further, the recent cuts to former presidents' benefits will be perceived as spite and not justice.

Definitely not good thinking by Cabinet or whoever is doing the consideration.]
