I agree.

However, considering the coalition's previous opposition to this when the PPP was in office, they should have 1) waited a little longer, maybe after a few months and b) sell the concept to the public first. 

The way its been done smacks of corruption and "abe no different".

Alyuh coolies should live and learn from Black people.  You see how them different from us coolies.  We coolies are our own worse enemy, we get a real high cussing out and dragging down we mattie.

Look at how this things gon go.  Black people already lining up behind their massa big salaries which will end up with them burying PPP leaders in acquired wealth.  Ordinary Black people will eat grass and wild edoe but that will be very happy and proud of the big big villas of their dear black massas.  You watch how the will happily point out their dear leaders castles with glee and admiration while they lumber home to their little tent and wild edoe stew.  They will use that to inspire their kids to obey, go to school, and aspire to become a minister and live large like massa.  If you fail, go beat up and rob dem coolie scrooges.  You see Redux, Caribj, Itaname, etc sounded negative on these announced increases, is not it was wrong, just look lil bad that the PPP did not really leave things as bad after all.  Now watch how them gon line up behind, and support their black massa.

Coolies, on the other hand are covetous.  They are happy when they, their immediate clan, kids, etc make it big.  They will feel proud and happy at showing the success of their clan.  However, they will tear down, ridicule and try their utmost to show their mattie coolie success is shady, after they must be into drugs, or tiefing.  Coolies will do whatever it takes to show they are better then their successful mattie, the will hold hands with blacks to sink their claws, and climb onto the backs of their own.  They will join up, cuss, spit and piss of their mattie with the hope of becoming a protected and loved house pet.

See now, and remember how the coolie crabs was cussing out the PPP, see how they can't wait for black massa beat up and lynch their mattie coolie.  This is a coolie best day, the day his mattie get beat up and brought down. They will join up and help the blacks so it don't look "racial".  In doing so, they hope to get something for themselves and they can stand and piss on their mattie.

Today look at how coolie crabs coming around to accepting the PNC can tief just like the PPP, just institutionalize it, and better you, PLEASE gi me lil piece action too nah, look me hey perked up wagging me tail.  I mean me ain't cuss, spit and beat up pon me mattie for nothing, me want in.  Some of them sitting here in North America just salivating at them big increases, now dem gon write and talk nuff and show how smart they are (much more than King Kong) and how they can solve all Guyana's problems with the hope of landing a nice payload.

Aye aye aye coolies, what can I say, we just don't have enough Nehrus, Cobras, Yujjis and baseman.

Along with your recommendations for ministers, I favor some sort of "penalty" for non performance. Some ministries are in such disarray and corrupt that no quantiative study is necessary to prove their malfeasance. Ministers must lead.

You cannot pay yourself out of corruption.  t s.

No, but you can used a combination of carrots and sticks and you can put "value at risk" which will cause people to think twice before they act.  This is why I support comprehensive comp packages for officials rather than plain high salary.  This in itself has a short shelf-life for deterance.

Minister could be in and out in 5 years; what kind of comprehensive comp packages can you set up for them?  Do they all get pensions after 5 years.  I think it is a travesty that Jagdeo is getting a pension.  It should only be applicable over a certain age.  He should get his ass to work.  Can you imagine a 30 years old get 7/8 of the sitting president salary for the rest of his life?

Guyana is one F-uped backwards country where the elites are living big on a jackass economy.

Jagdeo and Ramotar and any past president deserve every penny of the pension they receive by law.  Serving as head of state is a unique position in any country which leaves little options after serving.  In any case, you do not want a past president taking a key position in a big company then start lobbying/influencing peddling.

Serving a full term as president should come with an attractive base-level pension.  Two term, maybe a bit more, but not twice.  The base should be adequate to allow the former president and wife and minor kids to live comfortable.

If you want people to aspire to leadership, be elected, serve conscientiously, then ride off into the sunset, then you want a worthwhile incentive.  This is the most important job in any nation and should come with the appropriate merits.

nothing but contempt for all PPP antiman here . . . their "sources" and their numbers, and their 'intrigue'

special mention to 'Guyana Times' VVP, the small-timer overmatched Baseman, and the deranged, scary, race-baiting Jalilwho, i guess, will have to conclude that dem APNU-AFC rawan mussbe wuk strang obeah pan Moses

VVP is a VIP.
