Мустафа підняв серйозну дискусію про зарплату депутата в 5000 грн. Подивимось, шо нам на цю тема кажуть британські учьоні: 1. There is a broad consensus that low salaries for civil servants in developing countries can create incentives for corruption. Scholars point to the negative relationship between the level of civil service salaries and incidences of corruption, contending that poorly paid civil servants are more vulnerable to illicit rent-seeking (Van Rijckeghem and Weder 2001). 2. One of the main arguments on the link between low salaries and corruption is that for civil servants with low salaries, corruption becomes a coping strategy to compensate for economic hardship. These “need-based” arguments focus on the situation in which an underpaid official accepts bribes for basic necessities (Pilapitiya 2004) 3. The perception of failure to receive adequate remuneration may also reduce the moral costs of corruption (Abbink 2009). In other words, public officials might find it less unacceptable – thus more tolerable – to accept bribes if they are poorly paid. Similarly, it has been argued that there is greater public tolerance for corrupt practices when civil servants are underpaid. 4. When salaries are low but expectations for service remain high, government officials may demand more compensation from informal or even illegal channels than what is officially sanctioned, hence, corruption arises. 5. Due to perceptions of unfair payment, lower compensation level in the public sector as compared to that of the private one is reckoned as a key factor in the spread of corruption (Mahmood 2005). There is also the risk that higher pay in the private sector may lead to a brain drain in the public sector as staff are drawn towards better-paying positions. 6. It has also been argued that low salaries in the public service attract only incompetent or even dishonest applicants, which results in an inefficient and non-transparent corrupt administration (Abbink 2009). 7. An analysis by Bond (2006) on corruption among court officials argues that not only does the practice of raising salaries increase the cost of corruption – and thus reduce the incentive for corruption – it also reduces the corruptibility of the labour pool. He argues that by paying court officials above the market-clearing rate, it increases the number of honest individuals who are attracted to the position by more than it increases the number of dishonest individuals. 8. Most studies agree that increasing salaries without establishing effective control and monitoring systems as well as enforcement of appropriate sanctions is unlikely to have an effect on corruption. Шо мені каже здоровий глузд на цю тему - зарплата дєпутата повинна бути в районі 30 000 грн без жодних льгот (білєти на літаки, готелі, квартіри і т.д.) і довічних пенсій (і депутатських недоторканостей туда же). Зарплата повинна бути така, шоб професіонали і хороші люди хотіли йти працювати в Раду, працювали там і не парились, де їм підробити грошей на костюм і каву.
