1. Paying civil servants well

Whether civil servants are appropriately compensated or grossly underpaid will clearly affect motivation and incentives. If public sector wages are too low, employees may find themselves under pressure to supplement their incomes in “unofficial” ways. Van Rijckeghem and Weder (2001) did some empirical work showing that in a sample of less developed countries, there is an inverse relationship between the level of public sector wages and the incidence of corruption.

Public servants got 5%, Ministers - 50%.

Well, what so novel about that? In anycase, day pay alone will not solve the issue as no 3rd world Govt will have the resources to pay the average worker enough to stop them being tempted. Fair livable pay must be combined with tough laws and carrots of non-cash lucrative vesting fringes/perks.

This is the wrong forum to rant about that. Spend more time telling the people about it rather ranting about the perceived ills of the PPP.
