Motion On Increase Of Vdc Paid Meetings Rejected

Monday, February 17, 2020

Parliament has rejected a motion that requested government to increase the number of paid Village Development Committees (VDCs) and Ward Development Committees (WDCs) meetings from one to three per month.

Member of Parliament (MP) for Selebi-Phikwe East, Kgoberego Nkawana had tabled this motion. Presenting the motion, Nkawana said VDCs and WDCs were faced with many responsibilities in their daily work and needed to be appreciated.

He stated that VDCs and WDCs hold a number of meetings in a month because of the bulk of work they are faced with as leaders of the village, but government recognises and pays for only one meeting per month.
