THE MDC-T led Bulawayo local authority councillors have resolved to demand the salary schedule for executive managers in the wake of reports that their Harare counterparts were creaming it with hefty basic monthly pay and allowances.
Council chief whip Collet Ndlovu said councillors held a caucus on Wednesday and resolved to formally request the salary schedule on Monday next week.
"We had a caucus on Wednesday where we discussed service delivery in the city," said Ndlovu. "Residents are complaining on every front over issues ranging from potholes to uncollected refuse.
"However, the issues of salaries earned by management took centre stage.
"Councillors expressed deep concern about management pay and we resolved that the relevant committee will on Monday send a formal request to management seeking a salary schedule.
"We expect to get feedback next Wednesday."
It was alleged this week that 18 Harare City Council managers were gobbling up close to $500 000 monthly.
