In a system where rules and regulations exist but are often manipulated for personal gain, the incident involving a substantial salary increase for Parliament's Secretary, Mr. Xolile George, continues to stir controversy. A (foreign to the members committee) decision, reportedly approved without Parliament's knowledge by Speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula and Chairperson Amos Masondo, has sparked concerns about transparency and accountability in parliamentary affairs. The salary hike, from R2.6 million to R4.4 million, allegedly approved in secret by Political Heads, has prompted calls for investigations into possible misconduct and ethical breaches. Questions have been raised about the lack of transparency in salary negotiations and the disparity between the approved maximum salary and the actual payment, leading to accusations of misleading Parliament and the public. This controversy reflects a departure from standard parliamentary procedures, casting doubt on the integrity of decision-making processes within the Parliament of the Republic of South Africa. Calls for accountability and scrutiny highlight the need to uphold ethical standards and ensure transparency in public institutions to maintain public trust and confidence. https://lnkd.in/dApvM_uC

If you want better people to work for you, you will have to start offering higher salaries to attract the best of the best. If you ask me, this applies to both the private & public sector. 💡 Truth is that low salaries for people in high positions in the public sector makes them vulnerable to corruption. Doing "small" favors for envelopes with monthly salaries...or more. 😞 Unfortunately, working for kikiriki 🥜 is not helping people to stay honorable. This includes doctors, judges, school principals, mayors...and politicians. That's why people with such jobs/responsibilities in countries like the Netherlands get good salaries. 🥂🍾 Gross annual salary in the Netherlands: 👉🏻 Prime Minister: €189,210 👉🏻 Surgeon: €140,000 👉🏻 City mayor: Cca. €120,000 (depending on population of city) 👉🏻 Judge: €120,000 👉🏻 School principal: €72,000 When paying good salaries to people from the public sector, we of course should keep individuals accountable for their performance - just like we do in the private sector. Public servants who don't deliver should be replaced with those who will. It's not rocket science. 🙃 And in Croatia we could easily pay higher salaries in the public sector if we would start with laying off people with redundant positions and those who don't deliver. There is plenty of opportunities anyway in the private sector for those who are hard working and motivated. 🙌🏻 What do you say, should good people in the public sector get better salaries?

Absolutely agree with this perspective. At FAR Capital, we understand the importance of rewarding hard work and meeting market expectations. Just as in the private sector, fair compensation should be accompanied by increased productivity and accountability. It's encouraging to see discussions around ensuring civil servants are paid fairly, aligning with the demands and standards that drive success in any sector. Let's continue to support and value those who are truly making a difference.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Union Budget 2024 The government highly focuses on skill development of youth #budget2024 #unionbudget2024

Do you know that the Chief Justice and other judges absolutely deserve to earn 60 million naira per year, especially when the lowest paid workers earn a mere 360,000. Inflation, after all, only seems to affect the elite, while ordinary workers evidently don't need much to survive. They can make do with cheap fuel unlike the elites in government that will have to buy imported fuel. The skyrocketing cost of living, groceries, and basic necessities are clearly no issue for the masses. That is why the government rightly deemed it a national emergency to hike the CJN's salary, while the issue of minimum wage can be shelved for discussion on Pluto. It is only logical to prioritize the financial comfort of our judicial elites over the minor struggles of the average worker. After all, who cares if workers can barely make ends meet? The well-being of our top judges is obviously the most pressing concern since the masses can supplement their salaries with prayers.

In private sectors, as they say: "With great power, comes great responsibilities." Nothing comes for free, except expectations. Its good to hear that the government is working on solutions to ensure civil servants are getting paid fairly based on market rate. Not a surprise when the PM reminded them that he expects them to work harder afterwards. In private sectors, those are common demands. When you are selling in the market, you have to compete in the market to stay in the game. As usual, the public expects higher productivity and better governance from the government servants. Nonetheless, there are hardworking employees who are undervalued and deserve to get paid better. https://lnkd.in/g_r_YmmV
