Minister Josef Dobeš chose Jana Machálková (above) as his PR and HR advisor on Nov. 22; she earned roughly as much as the Czech prime minister in December.

The educational and professional qualifications of the new director of the executive office of Education Minister Josef Dobeš have been called into question — as has her salary. Czech Position has learned that Jana Machálková (30), who has yet to earn her BA degree, earned Kč 145,000 in December — more than Dobeš himself is legally entitled to and nearly as much as Prime Minister Petr Nečas.

I hope she will set the record straight. History teaches us that in the czech republic, strange hiring is often used for non business related reasons, though she should get a chance to show that her good looks are not her only skill. The salary is high, but if she is very, very good professionnally, then it can be justifies but her answers to your questions show a lack of a propos . I think that ministers' salaries are significantly too low and make them subject to corruption temptations.
