Minister says Botswana Railways executives are underpaid

Responding to a question in Parliament asked by Member of Parliament for Selebi-Phikwe West, Reuben Kaizer recently, Atamelang said this was revealed by a consultant who was engaged to do a review of the BR’s organisational and salary structure.

The Selebi-Phikwe West legislator had wanted Atamelang to state: (i) when last the Botswana Railways (BR) Organisational and Salary Structures were reviewed and implemented; (ii) if the two structures were both reviewed and implemented across all positions; if not, why not; (iii) why there is a huge disparity between the highest paid and the least paid employee; and (iv) when there will be a review and increment of salaries for the BR staff.
