Bolivia leader halves his own pay
Mr Morales says he wants to share the burden of the poor
The Bolivian new left-wing President, Evo Morales, has cut his salary by
more than a half to a little over $1,800 (£1,012) per month.
The decision means that the salaries of all Bolivian public sector
employees will be reviewed, as no official can earn more than the president.
Mr Morales said the money saved would be used to increase the numbers of
doctors and teachers.
Mr Morales suggested that members of Congress should cut their salaries
too.
During the campaign, Mr Morales had pledged to halve his own pay if
elected.
The move announced after his first cabinet went beyond that, with a cut
of 57%.
BBC South America correspondent Daniel Schweimler says many voted for Mr
Morales believing that he was different from the more conservative politicians
who have governed in the past.
The former llama herder and coca leaf farmer was inaugurated last Sunday
as Bolivia's first indigenous president.
He has promised to fight corruption, introduce a new tax on the wealthy,
and renationalise energy companies.
