Their is nothing new under the sun. Now that it's being listed here, what can you do about it? Absolutely nothing.

This has been listed before. Are my eyes decieving me or is there an increase ? In any case, the total salary is ludicrous. More so, given the minimum salary of a civil servant.

@YOMII, you are dead wrong bro! There is alot we (collectively) can do about it!

I will appreciate if U can educate us on what to do..by the way, renumerations of legislative members is not under the purview of any commission or agency. Them alone determine what their allowances will be n even share what is left of unspent budgeted money. So if U are saying something can be done, pls let's know...
