Salaries should be increased

Salaries should be increased

From Warta Kota

In the wake of the fuel price increases, the regional minimum wage, as well as the salaries of civil servants, military and police officers should all be increased.

In fact, the government's policy to increase fuel prices by over 100 percent needs to be reviewed; at least they should rethink the amount of the increase. It was just too high.

The government should also be aware of the fact that the majority of the population are in the low-income bracket. The average citizen is now burdened with the price increase of almost all basic needs, including food and clothing. Therefore, the government needs to make an adjustment to the salaries of those groups mentioned above.
