Councillors Demand Answers from Parly

Monday, May 31, 2021

Councillors have enquired with the Botswana Association of Local Authorities (BALA) to demand answers on the day and month in which Parliament decided to withdraw the commitment of the six percent salary increase.

The councillors want to know why their salary increment was diverted, while Members of Parliament received theirs. BALA is expected to have responded to the Minister of Local Government and Rural Development, Eric Molale’s letter.
