The President of Burkina Faso has rejected any salary increase

The President of Burkina Faso, Captain #IbrahimTraoré (37), has rejected any salary increase and emphasized his commitment to the country's citizens.

Traoré stated that his total assets amount to 340 million Tanzanian shillings and that he will continue to receive his regular salary as a captain in the army. According to the latest exchange rates (data from February 2025), 340,000,000 Tanzanian shillings (TZS) is equivalent to approximately 133,148 US dollars. Current conversions suggest a rate of approximately 0.00039 TZS/USD, which is consistent with similar conversions, for example, 34 million TZS is equivalent to 13,152.80 US dollars, which would translate to approximately 131,528 US dollars for 340 million TZS. His decision to refuse a pay raise stands in stark contrast to the actions of some of his predecessors and signals a new era of leadership. @https://www.udakuspecially.com/2025/03/rais-ibrahimtraore-wa-burkina-faso.html
