Peru's wealthy president mocked for complaining about salary

LIMA, Oct 21 (Reuters) Peruvian President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, a former investment banker who reported earning 700,000 dollars per year before taking office in July, faced a wave of criticism today for complaining about his salary as a public official.
Kuczynski's comments, posted online in a video by local daily newspaper Correo, come as his centrist government has been reeling from a corruption scandal involving a former adviser and deadly protests at one of the country's biggest copper mines.
The 78-year-old Oxford-and-Princeton-educated former World Bank economist was pitching a reform to raise the salaries of local mayors before he turned to his own earnings.
