Councillors Petition Molale

The civic leaders from different political parties want the Ministry to give them answers on when they will get their back pays, failing which they will take  government to court. The Monitor has been reliably informed that the funds that were secured for councillors have been used to pay COVID-19 Scorpions in the different councils.  

A petition submitted to the ministry dated April 20, 2021, reads: “Your office must take cognisance that it had been one year and one month without receiving these funds. We put it to you that the delay of this money had amounted to significant distress and damages in our lives. It is safe to submit to you that the fund in question is available and secured for us as per our legitimate expectations and understanding.
