At the center of this debate is the proposal for a 26.5% salary increase for elected officials who sit on the executive committee.
Unable to agree, the municipal council hands over the task of determining this salary increase to an external firm in order to evaluate the work of each committee and the precise tasks carried out by the councilors who sit on it.
This decision was taken during an extraordinary meeting of the municipal council this Friday.
For the deputy mayor, Raïs Kibonge, it is important for the people who serve the population to be “enough paid, because we still have families, we still have issues.”
For his part, the former municipal councilor and collaborator for Noovo Info, Vincent Boutin, questions the need to review salaries, when revisions were already made less than two years ago.
«No timing is really not up to date at the moment,” adds Mr. Boutin.
Effective file management?
Remember that the argument for a salary increase came from the fact that certain elected officials accumulated a significant number of hours to work on files.
“When I hear an advisor who says that she works more than 12 hours on the executive committee, my question is “should an executive committee take that much time?”, says the former advise.
