Civil servants' salaries

Civil servants' salaries

From Republika

There have been many suggestions about raising civil servants' salaries. However, some argue that an increase will only trigger inflation. Also, the House of Representatives' idea to cut the number of civil servants by 1.5 million is understandable. With the cut bureaucratic procedures can then be simplified.

The government should consider giving civil servants allowances in the form of nine basic commodities. If they have an excess of commodities they could sell them on the free market. This would help lower market prices, which would benefit society.
