NLA to mull pay rises for officials of independent bodies

By Thai PBS

 

 

The National Legislative Assembly is set to debate next week five bills proposed by the government to raise the salaries of officials of the court and other independent organizations.

 

NLA whip Yutthana Tapcharoen said the pay adjustments are intended to make the salary scales of the judges, public prosecutors and officials of independent organizations such as the National Human Rights Commission, the National Anti-Corruption Commission, the Election Commission and the State Audit Office, in line with the changing economic situation.

 

He said the pay rise will be retroactive to 2014 for all the officials except for the officials of the National Human Rights Commission whose salaries will be adjusted retroactively to 2005 with the government having set aside a 450-million baht fund for the adjustments.

Independent organizations? They must be joking. Nothing more than docile pets working on behalf of the present govt who are offering a reward for their compliance. Isn't it strange that the 'changing economic situation' still only allows many workers 320b a day for their sweat and toil? No retroactive to 2005 for them.

The reward for having been nice Junta's puppets since the coup (and even before the coup), and a way to make sure they will remain so.

Nothing New  Fat cats get fatter Poor people to get poorer. Good example  July 2nd Australia  MP pay rises 2% Not much you say It is when you basic wage is over 205,000 dollars for the lowest paid Backbencher Plus plus  But gets better People in the food industry hospitality industry retail industry have had there Sunday penalty Rates  taken off them  Some loose lots of money What a fair society we live in and then you have that arrogant Pm walking around saying this will create jobs help the country  So how does it help the country when those lazy politicians get a pay rise and the working people lose money

Hardly comparable.

Australian elected backbench MPs will be paid more than $200,000 for the first time because an independent tribunal decided to give them a 2 per cent pay rise worth almost $4000 from July 1.

A big fat thank you for staying on a certain side of the fence, and remaining so.
