Salary of Country's leader compared to GDP

How much should a country leaders, politician be paid ?
By % of GDP per capita
BY % of Budget

From the chart below,
---------------------------
Developed countries & Big Economies' politician pay is below 10 times the
Countries' GDP per capita

In a league of their own :
The Top 4 are :
-------------------
Above 25 times
1. Kenya
2. Singapore
3. Indonesia
4. South Africa

The Top 2 are :
--------------------
Above 40 times
1. Kenya
2. Singapore

Seems like Singapore a democratic modern economy is "benchmarking" its politician pay to
3rd world developing economy countries'.
