Senator Dillon maintained that public service should be seen as “service to country and people and not service to pocketMONROVIA – Montserrado County Senator Abraham Darius Dillon says he would be submitting a bill prior to the submission to the FY2020/201 Budget that would set US$5,000 as maximum salary for public officials. He made the disclosure on Monday when he dedicated a lavatory facility that was built as part of projects carried out from the US$3,000 donation he makes to the Montserrado County every month. The US$3,000 he gives to the county every month is part of his US$8,000 monthly salary and benefits as a lawmaker. During his political campaign to become Senator for Montserrado County, Dillon promised that he would not need more than US$5,000 as salary and any amount above that would go to the county to fund development projects. He maintained that public service should be seen as “service to country and people and not service to pocket”.
