Finance and Development committee chairman, Raoboy Mpuang told the meeting that the proposed budget of P218,118,570 was aimed at addressing most problems of Francistown residents. He said that the council’s income is expected to be P41,669,420 mainly from rates, SHHA service levy, interest on deposits and trade licenses. 

“The budget is mainly for salaries, subsistence allowances, valuation of plots and compensation,” explained Mpuang. He said that their fear is that the budget will be cut again by the parent ministry.
