I personally think that the salaries of members of the national and local assembly should be high - it represents the status of the office, the responsbility that is expected of them, the risk people take by joining public office and finally in practical terms it should mean there is less incentive for corruption.
HOWEVER...
I oppose any attempts to raise these salaries at this time, especially considering the economic condition of the country, the poor state of the common man and the anti elitist policies of the governing party.
Imran Khan has done the right thing to openly oppose this. When the state of the country is improved, maybe in 5 years time we'll be in a position to make this type of correction but now is not the right time.
