Khama earns �peanuts�

This is in comparison with their counterparts in South Africa and Namibia. President Ian Khama earns P518,782 per annum following Parliament’s passing of amendments to clauses providing for remuneration of Members of Parliament (MPs), members of Ntlo ya Dikgosi, judges and non-unionised members of public service. Khama now earns about P43,231,88 per month, way below what MPs take home in South Africa, and a little over P1,000 of what Namibian backbencher earns.  

The new salary structure is reflected in a bill published in the Government Gazette in April by acting Minister of President Affairs and Public Administration Shaw Kgathi, amending the National Assembly (Salaries and Allowances) Act following four percent salary increment for public servants.
