o exemplo do Burundi
o novo presidente do Burundi (o Burundi é aqui), face à falta de grana do governo e as "absurdas" regalias dos membros deste, tomou um medida que é no mínimo muito razoável... Limitou a compra de carros do governo a carros populares (nada de Land Rovers mais, galera!) e ordenou que os carros já comprados fossem leiloados. Ai, que falta faz um Pierre Nkurunziza aqui no Brasil...

Say no to expensive cars.

By Patrick Nduwimana

BUJUMBURA (Reuters) - Burundi's president has told ministers to stop orders for luxury government vehicles in a drive to cut costs in a country where most survive on the equivalent of 25 U.S. cents a day.

All orders for luxury four-wheel drive Toyota Land Cruiser Prados are to be halted and those already bought will be sold at auction, government spokesman Karenga Ramadhani said Tuesday.

"One Prado consumes 118 litres of oil when it is full. Two full tanks is the equivalent of a minister's salary (325,000 francs or $313). This is useless spending," Ramadhani said.

"The decision aims to reduce government expenses and deal with fundamental needs of the population," he said."
