It is not about the salary. Such people have made enough money out there and are taking the offer for either 1. nationalism(for those that have this trait) or 2. for prestige/status. Am sure that people of such calibre can live without a salary, if they so wish.
But, consider this, for government to attract the right professionals, they have to pay well. Some would consider service to the nation as a noble call but MOST would look at the money first. SRC has set the salary of Cabinet Secretaries at 1.1 million. That's acceptable.
Set out to correct the world's wrongs and you will most certainly wind up adding to them.
