this is what i said a couple of months ago:
https://guyana.crowdstack.io/topic/mi...t-increase-in-salary
Ministers should get a Significant Increase in Salary
it has nothing to do with whether they are deserving . . . it is simply a necessary building block in the war on corruption
these are the full-time people, some of whom could make much more outside of Gov't, esecially overseas
MPs are part-time, and can hold down other jobs, so do not need the salary increase as much; their allowances should be increased to encourge work in the communities where their focus should be
the PM and the President should hold the line on their own salary increase for morale purposes and to underline that the purpose is good and not greed . . . their basic expenses & lifestyle is thoroughly subsidised by the taxpayer anyways, as it should be
this kind of adult thinking is hard to sell to infants; unfortunately, those in charge are going about this in an inarticulate, less-than-forthright manner; leaving space for the real thieves, the bigots and charlatans to vomit their lies floating on top of much evil . . . to carry the day

The APNU-AFC Gov't should immediately table legislation to reduce pensions paid to Ex Presidents and Prime Ministers, and ELIMINATE entirely this 3rd world scampishness of tax-free remuneration for big shots
i also spoke to the horrible, ignorant timing, tone deafness and lack of sensitivity . . . and said this:
