Voldoende voorsiening gemaak vir vergoeding

Ogone Tlhage - Die Windhoekse munisipaliteit (CoW) het die aanstelling van assistente vir 15 raadslede goedgekeur wat gekla het dat hulle nie genoeg tyd het om aan stadsake aandag te gee nie.

Hierdie besluit volg op ’n mosie wat deur die Affirmative Repositioning (AR)-aktivis Job Amupanda ingedien is, wat voorgestel het dat navorsingsassistente aan raadslede toegewys word om hulle by te staan in die uitvoering van hul pligte.

Die mosie is vir oorweging aan die bestuurskomitee voorgelê.

Harold Akwenye, die CoW se woordvoerder, het bevestig dat voorsiening gemaak is vir die aanstelling van assistente.

“Die raad het op sy vergadering van 27 Julie 2023 die toewysing van interne navorsingsassistente aan alle raadslede goedgekeur,” het Akwenye gesê.

BEGROTE UITGAWE

Volgens Akwenye is die inisiatief se hoofdoelwit om studente of jong graduandi ervaring en praktiese blootstelling te gee as ’n manier om hul kapasiteitsontwikkeling en vaardighede te bevorder, wat hulle in staat sal stel om in die breër arbeidsmag mee te ding.

“Stad Windhoek het ’n omvattende databasis van studente en jong graduandi waaruit geskikte kandidate oorweeg word in ooreenstemming met die spesifieke geleenthede binne die raad se werksaamhede,” het hy gesê.

Boonop is “raadslede eweneens die geleentheid gebied om geskikte studente of jong gegradueerdes se CV’s in ooreenstemming met hul beoogde navorsings- of projekfokusareas in te kry vir oorweging in die keuringsproses”, het Akwenye verduidelik.

Hy het aangedui dat voldoende voorsiening gemaak is om die vergoeding van die assistente te dek.

“’n Toelaag word dus aan die leerling-navorsingsassistent toegeken uit die raad se internskapbegroting, wat deel vorm van die goedgekeurde bedryfsbegroting,” het Akwenye bevestig.

AAN DIE GANG

’n Stadsraadslid wat met die media gepraat het, het aangedui dat slegs Amupanda en sy mede-AR-raadslid Ilse Keister tot dusver assistente ontvang het.

“Job het volgehou ons is te besig. Ons het daartoe ingestem. Wat ons egter geleer het, is dat hy en Keister reeds mense aan hulle verbonde het. Ons bestudeer nog die meriete en nadele,” het die raadslid gesê.
