How could a man who likely earned this stupendous kind of income, tax-free, still want to suck this country dry?

Even if this was not Jagdeo’s doing but that of his party, he never said no to this insanity.

Again, the proper way to undo this wrong is through legislation and not relying on the conscience of the president.  But I doubt that the Ramjattan, Nagamotoo and Granger crew will do anything since their pockets will be affected too if there is a overhaul of the pension plan for politicians.
