Finance Minister Vishnu Dhanpaul has condemned the Opposition UNC's campaign promise to offer public servants a ten per cent salary increase if they are elected to lead the country on April 28.

He said the increase would cost tax payers billions of dollars and lead long-term to economic destabilisation.

"They are promising public servants short-term gain for extremely long-term pain," he said while speaking at the TTMA's leadership discussion and networking event at the Hyatt Regency on April 9.
