Higher salaries

Higher salaries and corruption

From Kompas

President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has announced plans to increase the salaries of civil servants and soldiers in an attempt to reduce corruption.

In my view, it is more appropriate to raise salaries for the purpose of improving welfare rather than reducing graft, because even as we have gotten new presidents and higher salaries, corruption has continued to spread.

When it comes to morality, corruption will prevail over salary increases. For example, with their big salaries some legislators and high-ranking government officials continue to be involved in corruption. This is because of the depraved nature of some officials.
