With utter disregard for the suffering of the citizens of this nation, and in a heartless manner, Prime Minister Gaston Browne has given himself and his Government Ministers a salary increase retroactive to January 2023.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

This was done without any legislation or resolution, or statutory instrument tabled in Parliament.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

He tried to do this clandestinely. And because he was caught, he is now dishonestly trying to rope in the Opposition MPs, by saying that we too received the increase.<\/p>\n

This is a blatant lie.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

How could Prime Minister Browne be so heartless?<\/p>\n

How could Prime Minister Browne increase Cabinet members\u2019 salaries before first addressing the needs of Government workers and pensioners, who are struggling to make ends meet under his skyrocketing cost of living?<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Salary increases for Parliamentarians must be done in a transparent manner, and should be pegged to those for public servants and pensioners.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

It is the people who we serve that should be first in line. Only after public servants and pensioners receive their increases should Parliamentarians be considered, at the same percentage.<\/p>\n

Doing this will put an end to Gaston Browne’s current hush-hush and arbitrary manner of granting increases to Parliamentarians.<\/p>\n
