[quote]Tunisia's leaders have called for civil servants and the general public to[B] donate part of their income to an "anti-terrorism fund",[/B] following a deadly assault on a town near the Libyan border.

Tunisian President Caid Essebsi made the appeal on Saturday as he showed up at a post office in the capital Tunis to offer a donation to a newly-created fund to raise money for the cause.

[B]He donated one month of his salary, Tunisia's state news agency TAP reported.

The president also urged Tunisians at home and abroad to make donations "in support of military and security institutions well as the national efforts to combat terrorism", according to the agency.[/B]

In a separate statement on the same day, Prime Minister Habib Essid "invited members of government and high-ranking state officials to donate a day's work" to the fund.

The prime minister asked state employees and citizens "to support the national effort in the fight against the plague of terrorism".[/quote]

You would never see that happen here, We have politicians claim money for living in their wife's apartment when by law the marriage act says that if your married or living with a person for 6 months now.. its your apartment as well.
