Motion: Christopher de Souza on Report of the Commission on Parliament Staff
The work of parliamentary staff often goes unseen, but it is critical to ensuring robustness of debate in the House and accuracy of policy. Considering the importance of parliament in keeping Singapore viable and adaptable in today’s competitive and changing world, the remuneration of its staff should in fact be at the forefront of the salary curve. Deputy Speaker Christopher de Souza made these points on Tuesday (Aug 4) when he rose in support of a motion proposing changes to their compensation package, based on recommendations in a report.
