Expensive good, cheap no good.
Cheap things are no good !!! Is that true ? When computers were first sold they were expensive costing $100,000.00 for a mini-computer to process accounting or project management packages. Micro-computers with very little memory power like Radio Shack (16 K ram) or Apple E-plus (64K ram) cost $600 or more in 1970s when such an amount was equal to $2,000.00 perhaps by today's purchasing power.
Yet today a micro-computer can perform the job of a mini-computer worth $100,000.00 cost only $1,000.00.
So a good government should add value to our lives and upgrade the ram and performance architecture with incremental improvements of capabilities as is taking place in the real first world countries not insist that people should pay their ministers more to get higher performers.
It is simply a fallacy which needs to be debunk. If our ministers are paid less than $1,500,000.00 p.a. does it really mean that we cannot have good people with quantum-leap quality capability?
It is a matter of whether our leaders know how to add values to our capabilities, entrepreneurship, creativity and implementation abilities and not practise the old assumptions that only when we pay more we can then get better people to come forward to serve. They have lost touch with the outside world and have failed to understand how to add values through democracy, mass participation and practical knowledge application.
