Burkina Faso's President Ibrahim Traoré Rejects Salary Raise

This action is truly unusual. The President of Burkina Faso, Captain Ibrahim Traoré (37), has rejected a salary increase, emphasizing his commitment to the country's citizens. Just last year, Ibrahim Traoré was kind enough to reduce ministerial salaries by 30%, but instead increased workers' salaries by 50%! Traoré stated that his total assets amount to 340 million Tanzanian shillings (approximately US$129,000) and that he would continue to receive his regular salary as a captain in the army. His decision to refuse a salary increase is in stark contrast to the actions of some of his predecessors—not just his predecessors, but all other presenters are included—and signals a new era of leadership. This can only be supported! @udakuspecially
