Haiti - Elections : 12 senators give their wages 14/07/2016 10:49:48
Extract of the correspondence : "[...] In order to remedy this situation, we have decided the following: 1. The donation of our salaries for the month of August and September 2016 except of operating fees as our participation in the realization of the next elections to elect a legitimate president on 7 February 2017 to fill vacancies to the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies; 2. To inform the Minister of Economy and Finance, Mr. Yves Romain Bastien, for the realization of this approach [...]" One can legitimately question the motivation of such a gesture that clearly wants more political (finding a positive image) than altruistic (selfless). The reality in figures : Recall that each senator receives a monthly budget of just over 10,000 US dollars, which included his salary (and not a salary of $10,000). To learn more, please read the exclusive article that we published in 2011, which revealed in broad daylight the details of that budget kept confidential https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-3421-haiti-politic-exclusive-edwin-zenny-gives-all-the-details-on-the-$10-000.html It appears that the emoluments in question represent around 2,000 dollars a month by senators or for two months and the 12 senators +/- a total of 48,000 dollars... For those who see this contribution an effort for the financing of elections, know that this amount represents less than 67% of $72,000 paid to 9 CEP electoral advisers for 2 months (budget of 240,000 gourdes paid monthly to each adviser, amount adjusted in October 2015) or again, this donation of $48,000 only cover the salary of +/- 4 judges of BCEN to the upcoming electoral disputes... Recall that the Senators had to react after the donation from wages of majority deputies to a hospital, who benefited by this gesture of positive impact on their image. SL/ HaitiLibre
