The Star

00:00If we follow the usual economic theory,

00:05all the increases in wages will be taken care of

00:09so that the economy will be more stable,

00:12which means less debt.

00:14But I see it from the point of view of the human nature,

00:19from the point of view of integrity,

00:23how can we burden the public officials

00:29with the mistakes that are not all their fault,

00:34sometimes from the point of view of management,

00:37from the point of view of the negligence of many other parties.

00:40So we should consider that,

00:43we should not be burdened,

00:45if we cannot be burdened,

00:47and there is our duty as a father

00:51in a large family,

00:53the government should consider

00:56why we took the bold decision.

01:00The discussion is in detail in the CKSN and KPPE,

01:05and in the KSP,

01:08we want to discuss how to give something that is really relieving.

01:16If we give little by little,

01:18it will be like giving alakadar.

01:21I know,

01:24because,

01:28maybe you will not mention it in front of me,

01:30but I know,

01:31it will increase by 0.5%,

01:34so I am complaining.

01:36So how can we increase it to the extent that

01:40we can give the confidence that

01:42the leadership of the civil government is serious

01:46to really find the best way to help.

01:53So that is why we increased it by 15%.

01:58And for the lower categories,

02:00the increase is much higher,

02:0220% and 30%.

02:06Some people challenged me not to announce it in detail,

02:09I cannot because there is a process.

02:11The principle we can announce,

02:13but the small details,

02:15we have to inform the Ministerial Committee first.

02:21It means that it has not been announced yet.

02:23It is really confusing.

02:27It means that it has not been announced yet.

02:29Adam has said,

02:30who knows if the parliament does not pass.

02:34I want to ask,

02:35which parliament members want to oppose this?

02:39Even if they oppose,

02:41God willing,

02:42there is PH, BN, GPS, JRS,

02:45the majority is still 2 out of 3, God willing.

02:51To pass the provision to increase,

02:56to study the new legislation system,

02:58I said in style,

03:00I do not want to increase it to a small majority.

03:02Let the parliament members have confidence

03:05that they have confidence and trust

03:08in the efforts and leadership of the civil government.

03:12That is one.

03:14But in this legislation system,

03:16we study it comprehensively.

03:19If in school,

03:22maybe 90% of the teachers are responsible,

03:27but there are teachers who try.

03:30There are some who are not present.

03:33The same goes for the problem in the office.

03:37There are small groups who are rude,

03:40do not come to work.

03:42Various problems.

03:43Do we have to provide the same service

03:46to small groups?

03:47I think some say not up to 5%.

03:51My answer is no.

03:53We will not provide the same service.

03:55So, I ask,

03:56while we provide a somewhat radical suggestion

04:00from myself,

04:02to provide recognition and compensation

04:06to civil servants,

04:07I ask for support

04:09to supervise the office itself

04:12and its members

04:14so that they are recognized

04:16as those who have damaged

04:18the reputation of civil servants.
