The parliamentary group of the Party “Dignity and Truth Platform” (PPPDA) proposed a bill to amend the law on the common pay grades in the public sector so as to cap the salaries of managers of a number of state-owned enterprises and companies with financial autonomy that benefit from budget allocations, IPN reports.

PPPDA MP Vasile Năstase said the exorbitant salaries of some of the heads of state-run enterprises must be urgently cut as these exceed 100,000 lei per person. “Do you know that in the Republic of Moldova we have salaries of 130,000 lei a month paid by the state? This is outrageous. The difference between the salaries of doctors and the pays of these thick-skinned persons is simply huge,” stated the MP.

Under the bill, the monthly pays of the managers of state-run enterprises cannot exceed three average official salaries and additional remuneration is not allowed.
