Should Political Office Holders Earn The Same Amount As Civil Servants? by Efuaye(op): 5:45am On Jun 04, 2024
Should political officeholders earn the same amount as civil servants?

In my observation, it seems that since the advent of democracy, elected and appointed politicians enter the office and often tell the public how dire the financial situation is, usually blaming the previous administration for leaving empty coffers. They claim there is no money to pay workers' salaries or for infrastructure development, yet they receive their salaries and allowances on time.
They tell us to tighten our belts while they loosen theirs.

Why can't they earn the same amount as the nation's civil servants? Why do politicians have a special salary arrangement?

Do you support the notion that henceforth, political officeholders should earn the same amount of money as the civil servants?

Who is doing the more tedious job? Is it not the Civil servants? All we say is they should make workers pay commensurate with the job they do, not monkey the work bamboo de shop kind of salary.
The political class are very wicked souls

Though your last paragraph is true but how are some of those civil servants even difference from politicians? Can you go to Nigeria customs to clear your goods without paying bribe? Can you get your LG certificate on your LG same day or within a week self without bribing?

You actually made sense here, at least for once since I know you here grin. But that's the reason the Labour is agitating for pay increase to lessen or clean out corruption in the civil service completely. If you are paid well you won't engage in illicit acts.
