Inflation fighter approves a massive wage hike kick starting a wage spiral. Did the secretary to the treasury inform the finance minister about this cabal decision as he is a central bank employee.

ANOTHER LAST MINUTE MOVE IN FAVOUR OF RANIL AND HIS RULING PARTY SUPPORTERS. WHAT WAS THE PRESIDENT/GOVERNMENT AND COPF CHAIRMAN DOING SINCE THIS PAY RISE WAS FIRST INTRODUCED BY THE CENTRAL BANK? BUSY FEATHERING THEIR OWN NESTS OR HALUCINATING?

This Governor must resign with immediate effect if he knows what is doing. Advocating to Tighten the belts of everyone else expect politicians and their henchman. With what audacity he signs off a wage rise even the best of private sector would not approve. What he would have recommend for himself must be astronomical. Did he not care to anticipate the damage for the pension and gratuity of these employees.

Dr Harasha is supporting for Central Bank Governor unworthy high pay rise Wednesday, 20 March 2024 07:08 PM

Central Bank Governor was to get 70% pay rise, while lower rung employees far less. With already his massive pay, not condemning the Central Bank intention to give a large proportion pay rise shows Dr Harasha is bad. He has always liked the loser who is the Central Bank Goren who ruined public's superannuation fund amongst other things. Only recommendation COPF should have put up is to ask him to resign, so a more sensible person who understands the pains of the public can be put in the role. And not some money greedy suit wearing scammer like the current Governor.
