Kan die groot voorgestelde salarisverhoging geregverdig word?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die voorstel om die boonste perk van die munisipale bestuurspos se salaris met sowat R600 000 op te stoot, het hewige debat in die raadsaal ontketen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S\u00f3 s\u00ea Sammy Claassen, raadslid by die Saldanhabaai-munisipaliteit (SBM) vir die Patriotic Alliance (PA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die SBM-raad het op 30 Junie op \u2019n spesiale raadsvergadering bymekaar gekom om die salarisverhoging vir die munisipale bestuurspos te bespreek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die totale voorgestelde nuwe salaris vir die pos, wat \u2019n prestasiebonus insluit, is R2 188 879 vir 2022-\u201923. SBM is \u2019n kategorie 4-munisipaliteit wat bepaal die boonste perk vir die salaris vir die munisipale bestuurder is R1 538 800. Die vergoeding van munisipale bestuurders word uiteengesit ingevolge verwante munisipale wetgewing soos gepubliseer in die Staatskoerant 43122 van 20 Maart 2020 en die Staatskoerant 46062 van 18 Maart vanjaar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens \u2019n skrywe wat SBM aan Weslander<\/span> gestuur het, kry die huidige munisipale bestuurder, Heinrich Mettler, tans R1 698 573. Dit is R159 773 meer as die boonste perk van R1 538 800 wat die munisipale bestuurder van \u2019n kategorie 4-munisipaliteit mag kry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2019n Kwytskelding bepaal dat Mettler die maksimum salaris van \u2019n kategorie 5-munisipaliteit kan kry. Die rede hiervoor het SBM in sy verklaring verduidelik. Die tekort aan senior munisipale bestuurders is bespreek by die onlangse forum van die provinsiale minister van plaaslike regering en burgemeesters wat in Junie gehou is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Volgens SBM word senior bestuurders dikwels in die private sektor aangestel, wat \u2019n groot nadeel vir die plaaslike regering is. Vir Mettler het die vorige raad \u2019n aansoek om kwytskelding goed\u00adgekeur, wat deur die provinsiale minis\u00adter van plaaslike regering onderskryf is, en deur die nasionale minister van samewerkende regering en tradisionele sake goedgekeur is. Die kwytskelding is deur die minister gemotiveer en goedgekeur aangesien Mettler ook as \u2019n direkteur in die raad van die Saldanha-nywerheidsontwikkelingsone (SBIDZ) dien en die rol vervul van voorsitter van menslike hulpbronne, vergoeding en etiekkomitee in die SBIDZ se raad van direkteure. Indien gefinaliseer en deur die minister goedgekeur, sal die nuwe munisipale bestuurder van SBM in die nuwe termyn toegelaat word om jaarliks tot R2 188 879 te kry. Hierdie kwytskelding sal dan van toepassing wees wanneer die huidige munisipale bestuurder se termyn van vyf jaar teen einde Oktober tot \u2019n einde kom en die aanstellingsproses vir \u2019n nuwe bestuur\u00adder begin. Volgens Claassen het opposi\u00adsie\u00adpartye hewig wal gegooi teen die voorgestelde \u201csalarisverhoging\u201d vir die munisipale bestuurder. \u201cOns het dit verwerp omdat dit te duur en onbekos\u00adtig\u00adbaar vir ons belastingbetalers sal wees,\u201d het Claassen ges\u00ea. Daar is ook ontevredenheid oor die ho\u00eb salarisse van ander senior amptenare en volgens Claassen raak die gaping tussen die inkomste van die topbestuur en die inkomste van gewone werkers te groot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHierdie kwytskelding moet hersien of teruggetrek word omdat ons belastingbetalers nie die buitengewone las van ho\u00eb salarisse, bonusse en byvoordele van die munisipale bestuurders sal kan dra nie,\u201d reken Claassen. SBM het egter in sy skrywe ges\u00ea ho\u00ebr salarisse vir die topbestuur is tot die munisipaliteit en die gemeenskap se voordeel. \u201cSBM word jaarliks ??geoudit en is onlangs aangewys as die tweede beste finansieel lewensvatbare munisipaliteit in Suid-Afrika, en die finansieel lewensvatbaarste munisipaliteit in die Wes-Kaap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDie munisipale gebied groei vinnig, en dit is dus baie noodsaaklik om \u2019n senior munisipale bestuurder aan te stel wat in staat is om hierdie prestasies vol te hou en dienooreenkomstig te begroot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Die finale koste vir vergoeding aan die munisipale bestuurder sal egter deur die nasionale minister bepaal word, soos dit was met ons huidige posbekle\u00ebr, meneer Mettler.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Kan die groot voorgestelde salarisverhoging geregverdig
