Share the burden - PM & President get more $$$

[Mmoney607]

So Rowley stands to get 1.1 m in backpay. The CEO of wasa, tstt and heritage made 150% more than him per month. The opposition leader is getting 960000 backpay while making more than every public official as well as more than these CEOs. Why in the world would she want anything to change?

The wise continues to live off the foolish, Rowley set to get 1 million dollars backpay meanwhile he telling the masses they can only get 4 percent. We accept this. Dotish country with Stupid ppl.

You swallow so much of his DNA that you can't even think or talk for yourself. Reclaim your manhood and independence from ZR and realise that it's the actions of a single megalomaniac that's preventing a viable alternative in the eyes of the voting public. You calling the voters stupid yet still begging for their votes. Ask Kamala how that strategy turned out.

ZR made some good points whether you like him or not, PNM seeking their own interests and the ppl comfortable with such and accept such. Trinidadians either sleeping or fully dunce but they wide awake and functioning so they have to be stupid to see all that going on and still voting for PNM.

Whatever good points are lost in the insults and rum shop ole talk. Anyway, insulting the same voters who you need to regain government isn't a viable strategy. That's why the PNM almost always wins and never out of government for more than one term at a time. Politics and governance are two different concepts.

Higher salaries for PM, public officials from this month

Increased salaries for the Prime Minister and other public officials will take effect from February 2025, according to a Comptroller of Accounts circular.

The circular, dated January 24, 2025, was issued to permanent secretaries, heads of departments, the Chief Administrator of the Tobago House of Assembly, and heads of statutory bodies.

It outlines the revised accounting arrangements for the remuneration of public office holders under the purview of the Salaries Review Commission (SRC).

The directive follows the Ministry of Finance Circular No 11, issued on December 23, 2024, which set forth the revised salaries, allowances and benefits for office holders.

The SRC’s 120th report was laid in Parliament in November when Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley announced that the Cabinet would accept the report and the proposed salary increases for office holders such as the President, Prime Minister, ministers, Opposition Leader, parliamentarians, members of the Judiciary, senior public servants such as heads of the protective services, permanent secretaries, members of the Tobago House of Assembly, and members of commissions, among others.

Rowley said he was accepting the responsibility—“and maybe the wrath”—of those who gave him the responsibility of Prime Minister. “I bear that cross without fear of retribution,” he said.

Although there had been debates in the past on the SRC’s report, it is not required. As such, the Cabinet approved it, and in December 2024, the Finance Minister issued a circular that outlined the revised salaries, allowances, and benefits.

Increases outlined

With respect to the Prime Minister’s salary, the report stated that, with effect from October 1, 2020, to September 30, 2023, the Prime Minister should receive $80,000, and from October 1, 2023, his monthly salary should be increased to $87,847. A back payment amounting to about $1 million before tax will also be paid.

The report stated that the President, whose current salary is $67,270, should receive an increase to $73,920 with effect from April 1, 2020, to March 31, 2023, and to $81,170 from April 1, 2023.

The Opposition Leader’s current salary is $29,590 per month. The SRC recommended that, with effect from October 1, 2020, the salary of the Opposition Leader be increased to $47,500 and then to $52,159 from October 1, 2023.

The Comptroller of Accounts circular mandates that Government ministries, departments and statutory agencies implement the revised compensation packages, which include the incorporation of Duty and Special Duty Allowances into base salaries.

The changes are retroactive to:

• October 1, 2020, for the Prime Minister’s Duty Allowance.

• April 1, 2020, for Duty and Special Duty Allowances for other office holders.

Revised salaries and allowances for Members of Parliament, the Chief Secretary of the THA, and other office holders will be effective from October 1, 2020, and April 1, 2020, respectively.

The circular states that office holders will retain benefits that have been discontinued or reduced as long as they remain in their current positions.

However, this does not apply to recipients of Duty and Special Duty Allowances.

Tax exemptions

Additionally, revised rates for Motor Vehicle Loan Facilities, Tax Exemptions and Subsistence Allowances will take effect from December 23, 2024.

Ministries and agencies are required to compute and process arrears of salaries and allowances in accordance with specified worksheets. The arrears must be accurately calculated and clearly recorded in the accounting system, with payments to be made in the current financial year.

The circular stated that the revised salaries and allowances will be uploaded into the Integrated Global Payroll/Integrated Human Resource Information System (IGP/IhRIS) to facilitate payments beginning in February 2025.

It noted further that the updated remuneration packages are subject to standard income tax deductions.

Government agencies were advised to ensure adequate funds are available to cover arrears payments; and where additional funding is needed, ministries are directed to liaise with the Budget Division of the Ministry of Finance.

Public servants remember it was the UNC that gave you 14 percent and took care of you while this nasty government only offering 4 percent but paying themselves over 40 percent increase. Regular workers remember it had 4 gas increases and there could very well be a 5th on the horizon should PNM win....vote wisely

4. 2025 Annual Convention will not be before election
