    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Minister, in his answer to part \"c\" of the Question, has said that he is not aware that there is no morale in the Civil Service. He went ahead to say that the Civil Service salaries are now competitive and are attracting professionals from the private sector and other sub-sectors of the economy. However, if you look at the table he has given to us, if you compare the earnings of the Permanent Secretaries in the higher entries with managing directors and chief executive officers, you will find that they only earn 26 per cent of what is paid to their counterparts in the private sector. There is a 31 per cent increase for Permanent Secretaries compared to CEOs and 28 per cent for HODs as opposed to managers in small organisations. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not understand how the salaries are now competitive and that someone can leave a job in the private sector to go and earn 26 per cent of what he was earning before. Is it really true that the Civil Service salaries are competitive by looking at the table that you have given to us?"
