    Follow the Money

    In September, the Auditor General released a detailed report exposing major gaps in transparency surrounding the 2024 salary increases for public officers. While many civil servants finally received overdue raises after more than 20 years without an adjustment, the report also revealed that members of the House of Assembly selected the highest salary range for themselves, increasing their total compensation by 119% without full disclosure to the public or Cabinet. This episode breaks down the facts in plain language: What PwC recommended, what Cabinet approved, what was hidden from financial briefs, and why the Auditor General flagged “incomplete financial information.” We also examine the government’s official response, calls for transparency from Hon. Myron Walwyn, and rising public pressure for accountability. This is more than politics; it’s about public trust.
