'Some benchmarking trips aren't necessary'

Kganetsano told Public Accounts Committee (PAC) this morning in response to a question by commettee chair, Taolo Lucas, who had enquired how government stop the coffers from bleeding. Lucas also asked Kganetsano if allowances for the President and Specially Elected Members of Parliament (SEMP) could be halted.

“By now, one could have thought top paid government officials allowances and some members of Parliament with their salaries can sustain them, why not cut those allowances?” Lucas asked.
