During his broadcast yesterday, President Jonathan said he's slashed the basic salaries of all political office holders in the Executive Arm of government by 25% and assured that there will be cuts in others areas, including government travels, and the scrapping of government departments with duplicating functions.
Some of the things he said...
· 25% cut in basic salaries of political office holders in the Executive Arm.
· Scrapping of agencies and departments with overlapping functions as recommended by a soon to be presented review report.
· All Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) must cut overhead expenses immediately.
· Funds saved from subsidy removal must be spent prudently on national infrastructure, power supply, transportation, irrigation and agriculture, education, healthcare, and other social services.

Sorry, I don't trust this Government. Basic salary slashed by 50%, what about their allowances? That's where they make the most money...That should be slashed by 89%.
