Figures released by Deputy Minister of Information Supa Mandiwanzira today showed that Muchechetere was earning a salary of $27 000 a month. He was also paid a housing allowance of $3 500 a month, an allowance for domestic workers’ salaries of $2 500, an entertainment allowance of $3 000 a month and a general allowance of $3 000 a month.
