Masisi's bloated Cabinet

FRANCISTOWN: From an economic point of view, the heaviness of the Cabinet translates into a burden on the national coffers as it gobbles a hefty sum annually. For instance, without other allowances and benefits it’s estimated that the President, vice president, substantive Ministers and their deputies,  about 30 in number, gobble about P12, 392,872 annually.

The above estimated figures are without other notable allowances as Cabinet has luxurious and expensive motor vehicles and other staff members who are a direct cost to the taxpayer.
