Härligt med lite löneförhöjning!
Det gäller att smöra valmanskåren inför kommande val,
och varför inte ge sig själv en extra slant som tack för besväret - hur ska det annars bli någon "rättvisa"?
The Abhisit government is being accused of underhand tactics by slipping a huge
salary upgrade for MPs and senators into the royal decree for a civil servant pay rise due in April.
The cabinet on Monday approved in principle the plan to increase salaries for civil servants by 5%.
But without any previous announcement it furtively added a 15% pay increase for lawmakers, the Puea Thai Party claimed.
Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban yesterday rejected criticism of
the civil service pay rise but did not address the 15% bonus for lawmakers.
A cabinet source said a draft royal decree sought pay rises for the entire public sector,
including teachers, police and soldiers, giving them an extra 5% on their monthly salaries.
But the salaries of members of public independent agencies and parliamentarians,
with the exception of ministers, would rise by about 15%.
That would mean the monthly salary of an MP or senator would jump to 71,230 baht from 62,000.
The salary of the house speaker would rise to 75,590 baht from 65,920.
