Salary hike for ministers justifiable – Harmon

“JUSTIFIABLE” is the word, according to Minister of State, Joseph Harmon, in a response to queries over the recent decision by the government to increase the salaries of ministers, members of the National Assembly, and special offices.

In keeping with an order gazetted by Finance Minister Winston Jordan, the Prime Minister will now receive an income of $20,580,000 per annum, while every vice president, with the exception of the Prime Minister, will receive an income of $11,135,065 per annum.

On a monthly basis, Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo is in line to receive approximately $1.7M, while the vice presidents will receive approximately $927,000.

Additionally, cabinet members would receive $10,439,124 annually, or approximately $869,927 monthly; while junior ministers are in line to receive approximately $695,000 monthly, or $8,346,492 per annum.

ketchim and mes loves this party.  they wont reduce berbice river toll but gives themselves a salary increase

Imagine...these guys haven't done anything to justify a raise, but they give themselves one...because they deserve it???? I wonder what qualifies this raise?


Silence is deafening.

This Harmon guy is too dangerous for my liking...ole PNC on the run. Van East Charles is back in the runnings...

and they blame everything on ppp

They need to stop blaming the ppp and account to the people what they have done for the past 5 months to deserve a raise.

They should govern and stop making excuse. The ppp were bad...but these misfits are worse. Change...you bet. For the better???? Now that is the real question.

dem wanted naggas  dem get naggas

I think Naggas got them. He got a poshly renovated house...a fat salary increase, living off the fat of the Guyanese people. His kids are smart enough to be overseas...and he is now on the feeding through. Easy peasy.

Hahaaaa. SmArt man he is

Dude...I wonder how the AFC-ites are swallowing this. They saw so much wrong that the ppp did...even the slightest move by the ppp was causing them to bawl...now that Harmon, he is running the country by the way, gat them by the balls collectively they are all on mute-mode. Hear the silence...soon it will be titled...silence f the lambs. Watch the ride.
