Fax Bureau Reform Moves Toward Civil Service Change
A Senate approved plan shifts 64 internal revenue collectors to Civil Service, placing 57 000 employees under non political rules while the commissioner stays presidentially appointed. The reform creates 25 district and 70 deputy district commissioners with three top assistants to curb corruption and improve tax collection. Salaries for the top 99 officials range from 12000 to 14800 dollars. Taxes are rising and the reform aims to reduce political influence.
