In legal circles, government experts are at the low end of pay scale

"The Polish government tries to solve many problems with help of its officials, not experts," said Leslaw Paga, president of accounting firm Deloitte & Touche. The highest rate for legal opinions for the Senate is zl. 1,000, as quoted by budget and tax experts. However, the Senate Chancellery once paid zl. 2,500 for its representative speech at the Constitutional Tribunal forum. Also, a Financial Ministry advisor earns zl. 2,700 each month. "[A] salary of zl. 3,000 is not attractive, the job may limit [my] freedom of speech, requiring at the same time full flexibility, and I can't accept this," said one expert within a ministry advisory group.
