In this case, such an action is justified. Across the globe, from the savanna republic of Africa to the Nordic welfare states, compared to the wider population, politicians are some, if not, the highest earners in any economy. The selling of a few shares, and in addition, the process of earning monetary capital from shares is a slow process with limited returns in the beginning compared to a high monthly salary with multiple benefits, financial and non-financial, would not hurt the politician whatsoever in the slightest.
