Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Chad’s new interim prime minister says he is forfeiting his own pay to help others in the country, as “a way of modestly contributing what could have belonged to me”.<\/p>\n

“I am giving up my salary as prime minister, which I will devote entirely to a social scholarship for the 23 provinces,” Succe\u0300s Masra told state TV on Sunday.<\/p>\n

“I feel I have a mission and a privilege to serve the republic,” he added.<\/p>\n

Soon after, a transitional legislator, Bedei Toullomi, also said he would give up 50% of his salary and donate the rest to orphanages.<\/p>\n

It is not clear how much top government officials in Chad earn, as such information is closely guarded.<\/p>\n

Before his appointment earlier this month, Mr Masra was a staunch opposition leader who challenged the administration of military leader Mahamat De\u0301by.<\/p>\n

His return to Chad in November 2023, after a year in exile, followed a reconciliatory deal with transitional authorities.<\/p>\n

In an apparent switch of allegiance, Mr Masra campaigned in favour of a controversial draft constitution during the December referendum, which was highly criticised by some members of the opposition.<\/p>\n

The approval of the new constitution by the Supreme Court paved the way for elections later this year, expected to put an end to the military transition.<\/p>\n
