Keorapetse argues that members if the armed forces are discriminated against

Selebi-Phikwe West legislator, Dithapelo Keorapetse has put before Parliament a Bill that intents to have Botswana Defence Force (BDF) soldiers working conditions improved. Keorapetse feels the army personnel are discriminated by being denied full payment while on suspension.

“In 2008, Parliament enacted the Public Service Act. It took effect in 2010. One of the key provisions of the Act was the unionisation of the public service.

The other important Section dealt with indicted or suspended civil servants facing disciplinary charges; that they will be suspended on full payment. Previously, they were suspended with half salary,” he said.
