Government has increased Ward councillors’ honoraria by 50 percent.

According to a memo signed by Secretary for Local Government Charles Kalemba, the councillors will now be receiving K150,000 from K100,000 per month with effect from January 01 2021.

The development comes just hours after revelations that allowances for Members of Parliament have been increased by K1.1 million.

Meanwhile, Ministry of Local Government, through the memo, has asked local government authorities to negotiate with commercial banks to help the councillors to obtain loans.
