“Governed by law”

The blog asked the aforementioned senators if these salaries for cabinet servants were not exaggerated, at a time when the federal government is facing a fiscal crisis and 30 million Brazilians live in extreme poverty.

Senator Dueire’s advisory told the blog that the salaries and benefits of employees of the Federal Senate are governed by Law 12,300, of 2010, “it is not up to the senator to define these values. In addition, the Federal Senate strictly enforces the federal civil service ceiling. Any question about the salaries of the servants must be made to the general directorate of the House”. He added that Luno advises on processes and legislative activities.

The senator said, through a note from his advisory, that the servants mentioned by the blog, “are highly professional, effective employees with more than 40 years of experience in cabinet administration and legislative advisory services”.

The president of the senate stated that “the remuneration of the positions of parliamentary advisor and parliamentary secretary strictly meets the legal norms.”
