Salary of assemblymen is sent for review

The President of the Assembly, Gabriela Rivadeneira (AP), said she expected to agree on a salary adjustment with the other branches of the government in order to adhere to the recent provision of the executive branch on the remuneration reduction, and which currently only reaches the highest hierarchical level.

“We have already had a first meeting among the presidents of different functions of the state and among the functions of the state we will be able to present this alternative; we will study and analyze which will be the salary adjustment to submit it as a proposal and a position from the State,” said Rivadeneira.

Furthermore, she said that the Council on Legislative Administration (CAL) will meet on Thursday of next week, after the legislative vacancy; and announced that the adjustment percentage to be implemented at the assembly will be defined there.

Currently, the standard monthly remuneration of 137 legislators is $ 6,000.
