Following the secondment of Ben Nangombe to lead the Social Security Commission (SSC) last week, sources have come forward in support of the salary reforms proposed by justice and labour relations minister, Fillemon Wise Immanuel, revealing a skewed remuneration structure that sees the lowest earners at the commission taking home more than teachers on a cost-to-company basis.
Sources close to the matter revealed to the Windhoek Observer that the commission’s cleaners earn a monthly salary of approximately N$18 000 monthly, while messenger drivers and switchboard operators take home around N$20 000 and N$22 000 on a monthly basis respectively.
These figures highlight the vast disparity between the commission’s salary structure and other public sector roles, with sources confirming that the lowest earners at the SSC allegedly earn more than teachers on a cost-to-company basis.
