LA PAZ, Dec 28 (AFP): Bolivia's socialist president-elect, Evo Morales, and his entire cabinet will take a 50 per cent pay cut so more staff can be hired for the education and health sectors, Morales announced late Tuesday. "This is a democratic revolution and we will answer the Bolivian people's call," Morales said. "Its a question of sharing the country's situation among us all," said Morales, who has vowed to make multinationals pay more into the national economy and to raise Bolivia from its status as one of Latin America's poorest nations.
