GOVT SHOULD BUILD COMPLEX FOR FORMER PMS – SENATORS

MBABANE – It is sad to board a bus with a man who once held the position of prime minister (PM) and perhaps government needs to consider building a complex for such individuals, similar to the one for judges.


This is an assertion that was made during a Senate sitting, which took place yesterday where senators passed the budget for the financial year 2017/2018 with amendments.


According to senators, while they supported the suspension of the E5.5 million allocation to build a house for the current PM Sibusiso Barnabas Dlamini, there was a need to review the circular which provides for the welfare of the country’s current and previous premiers.
The senators said the review was going to make everything clear on the benefits of a prime minister and further assist those who held the same post before.


The motion to suspend the allocation for the construction of the current PM’s house was moved by MPs during the debate of the budget for the coming financial year.
Senator Princess Phumelele said the issue of caring for the welfare of the current and previous premiers was long overdue.


“Before the new one is appointed, there is a need to ensure that the previous one is well taken care of. Right now the circular is not clear on what happens to the previous ones. It would make sense to build them a complex just like the judges so that all of them could be housed in a proper surrounding so that they could be closer whenever they were needed,” she said.


The senator said it was not fair that government seemed to have money to spend E5.5 million for the current PM when it was not clear how the previous ones were living.
