President to release salary details

President Hage Geingob has promised to release details of his salary, those of his advisers and other politicians, to the public.

The President hinted before he travelled to the United States of America three weeks ago that he will declare his salary.

Press secretary Albertus Aochamub told media yesterday that the President promised to provide the information as indicated once he returns from his US trip.

The President's executive director in his private office Etienne Maritz said 34% of Geingob's salary goes to charity, such as the N$20 000 which goes to the One Economy Foundation for educational purposes, and N$30 000 to support specific vulnerable people in towns like Tsumeb, Otavi, Otjiwarongo, Grootfontein and Kalkfeld.
