I think the ministers found it difficult to put forward their points because a lot of it tends to be difficult to espouse --- for example, how do you explain that low salaries tend to lead to distractions that could lead to people in power abusing their authority (like you said, special projects etc). But these are valid points ..... we have to recongise that human nature is such. Salary hikes are always difficult to put through when it is under such public scrutiny; the furore only slightly died down when our PM said he was going to donate his own increment to charity for 5 years, to attain "moral authority".DanielXXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06174609598429972512noreply@blogger.com
