The president with permanent salary, the prime minister and not the prime minister

With the salary bill, besides the president, there will be no other senior officials to receive eternal pay.

This is after the Commission for Public Administration has limited to 5 years the deadline, along which the prime minister, prime minister and prosecutors will receive salaries. While the wage cofficiency has dropped from 12 to 10.

This commission today has sent the draft law on salaries to the country, as well as the draft law on organising and functioning of the State Administration and independent agencies, with a number of amendments that members of this commission voted separately.

Commission chief Nait Hasani said it was Parliament Speaker Kadri Wessel's request to have permanent salaries with limited deadlines for certain positions following the end of the mandate in the respective position.

A request is made by the Speaker of the Parliament who, after being chairman of the Constitutional Court, the prime minister, the Speaker of the Parliament, chief state prosecutor, the prosecutor, was a permanent salary after the age of 65... With a five-year limit of”, he said.

During reviewing the amendments, Hasani said that all agencies which are financed by the state, including RTK, should be determined to pay levels, which cannot exceed the value of the country's president's pay.

In the future we have designed the new bill, which we demand to be self-financed by citizens. If that part passes, then they become self-financers and they get out of this rule of law. Then they define their rules of setting salaries, but while they are with this status we have to deal with them in this position for 1:7 to have their salaries... I've met their group twice and I have the union board and I have the market that we don't determine who should choose you, just tell you that the minimum and maximum wage must be 1:7”, Hasani said.

MPs had dilemmas on RTK's definition as state television in the framework of the budget law, while there was debate.

MP Jevahire Izmaku said that way the commission has broken the state concept of free media.

“You define [ RTK state television when you put it within the framework of the budget law. I think we have to be seen as a commission that breaks the concept of free and democratic state for free media... We have total people indicted”, she said.

Rasim Selmanaj, on the other hand, said RTK should be removed from the public sector wage bill.

“Let's get out of here because RTK doesn't have the place to deal with the wage law. Civil servants and public enterprises. Why leave me space with the comment we're willing to lose independence”, he said.

In voting this bill 4 votes have been in favour, 4 against and 2 abstentions. In spite of that, the amendment has gone to the Assembly without the Commission's backing.

As for voting the bill for public officials and for the organisation and functioning of the State Administration and independent agencies, Valon Ramadani from Vetevendosje said they have contributed to reducing inequality between the public and private sector, and why they have failed to do so completely.
