Rabasimane blasts gov’t for wastage

Friday, April 18, 2025 | 230 Views |

Secretary-general of the Botswana Federation of Public Sector Trade Unions (BOFEPUSU), Robert Rabasimane, has dared government to put its priorities right. He also challenged the government to explain why when it comes to priorities of workers it always cries foul that the coffers are dry or in Setswana “sepache se makgwakgwa”.

Rabasimane wondered why the emptiness of the state coffers is always the excuse when it comes to implementing salary increases for the workers who toil to make up the riches of the country.

However, he surprised that when it comes to implementing salaries and other benefits for the politicians, the emptiness of coffers doesn’t stop such implementations.
