Mayor General of Chisinau Dorin Chirtoaca pleads for limiting the pays of managers of state and municipal companies. “Such a measure will help remove the discomfort that now prevails in society and will prevent private companies from attracting the good specialists,” the mayor said in Monday's meeting of City Hall officials. Dorin Chirtoaca said he will raise the given issue within the Alliance for European Integration as Mayor of Chisinau and as vice president of the Liberal Party. The mayor stated that there are servants in the City Hall's subdivisions who have pays of over 15,000 or 20,000 lei. “It don't understand why civil society sounded the alarm only now. These salaries are not set by the mayor or the Chisinau Municipal Council, but in accordance with laws adopted before 2001,” Dorin Chirtoaca said, adding the problem could be solved by the Communist government if there was political will. The incomes of state company managers became a topic for discussion after the head of the National Agency for Energy Regulation Victor Parlicov, in a sitting of the Parliament, confirmed that his monthly pay is about 44,000 lei. Afterward, Prime Minister Vlad Fiat asked that by February 25 he be provided with information about the salaries paid in 2010 to managers of state-run companies and joint stock companies in which the states owns holdings.
