Local Leaders Get Major Pay Hikes

Over 1,000 local government officials are set to receive major pay boosts within days, as confirmed by the minister of Local Government and Regional Development. NDC chairpersons jump from $10K to $50K monthly, vice-chairpersons from $5K to $40K, and regular councillors—from $3K to $30K (NDC) or $30K to $50K (RDC). The move aims to empower local democratic bodies, enhance community service delivery, and fulfill commitments made in the 2026 budget—signaling a serious push to strengthen local governance and drive development from the ground up.
