In a communication addressed to the Deputy Speaker of the House, Rep. Gray craved the indulgence of his colleagues to demand a careful scrutiny of the civil servants payroll, which he noted would enable the Legislature help government curb wastes and remove ghost names. According to him, most of the managers, contractors and other professionals transferred to the civil service maintain their salaries up to US$3,000 in some cases. "Also, general allowances of some agencies and ministries are distributed with huge disparities at the will and pleasure of a sitting minister,” he noted. He continued: “We have the responsibility to help clean this financial mess through our oversight as we approach the process of a recast budget." He said, he’s optimistic that said action would help government generate more revenue for government.
