The National Administration and Personnel Office (ONAP) is working on a bill to limit some of the expense account "extras" so abused by officialdom. According to Diario Libre, ONAP's proposal will limit per diem payments to 10% of salary as a way to put a halt to high-ranking officials' juicy expense accounts. Each person will have to provide expense receipts and make sure they don't exceed the set limit. Only the President and Vice President will be exempt from this requirement.
The legislation will also require that high-ranking presidential appointments will entail full-time dedication and therefore the appointee will not be allowed to have any other income except from teaching or for serving on a board of directors for a public or private entity.
