This is despite the law indicating that resolutions taken by the commission were binding and final.<\/p>\n<p>Some departments are also slow in implementing resolutions of the commission, which leads to employees coming back to complain again,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He also advised government departments to always follow procedure in disciplinary issues of employees as it had turned out that such failure to follow procedure was the cause of many disputes against the government<\/p>\n<p>Mr Leero said other challenges they faced included lack of vehicles and shortage of support staff. He said also raised concern about a thin commission membership, which had potential to collapse their quorum when other members were not available.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/botswana\">Botswana<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Botswana.
