Africa-Press – Cape verde. The Prime Minister, Ulisses Correia e Silva considered the “adjustment made” in relation to salaries at BCV to be “normal”, because, as he said, it makes no sense for directors and advisors to earn more than the institution’s managers. From New York, where he is on a mission, the head of the Government reacted in this way to the news in the weekly edition of the newspaper A NAÇÃO no 838 of 21 September, which reports on salary increases of around 17 and 18.4% for Governor and administrators of BCV.
“The Cape Verde bank currently has a salary system that places directors and advisors at a higher salary level than the bank governor and administrators. Therefore, this (increase) is understandable”, argued Ulisses Correia e Silva to the press, from New York, yesterday, where he is participating in the 78th General Assembly of the United Nations.
The head of the Cape Verdean Executive recalled that in the case of entities that are “of the corporate, institutional type”, such as the BCV, despite being public, “it does not make much sense for there to be a negative salary differentiation, in relation to those who have increased responsibilities in their roles”.
As he argued, in this context, “it is only because of this” that the respective adaptation was made.
“So that there is no negative differentiation between the salaries of those who have additional management responsibilities. I’m talking about governors and administrators in relation to directors, advisors and consultants. It’s just this correction that was made,” he concluded.
MpD Praia against
It should be noted that this morning, MpD Praia also reacted to the aforementioned salary increases, clearly opposing it, as it was “an affront to Cape Verdeans”.
“While the majority of Cape Verdean citizens are facing economic difficulties and struggling to survive, it is unacceptable that those in power receive such substantial salary increases.”
These reactions arose following the news in the weekly edition of the newspaper A NAÇÃO no 838 of 21 September, which reported salary increases of around 17 and 18.4% for the Governor and administrators of the BCV.
