Minister Pledges To Donate Govt Salary To Charity

Deputy Minister of Industry and Commerce Raj Modi has pledged to donate his government salary to the underprivileged for the duration of his term of office. Modi who is also the only Zanu-PF MP in Bulawayo after being elected for Bulawayo South told the Sunday Mail,

I am a successful businessman because of the people of Bulawayo. I am a Member of Parliament because of the people of Bulawayo and I was appointed Deputy Minister of Industry and Commerce because I am a Member of Parliament, so I am a Minister because of the people of Bulawayo. While I can thank them all through words, I am compelled to show my gratitude by helping the underprivileged in our city. Therefore, I am making an undertaking to donate my entire salary every month to the needy. I will not touch or use a cent from that money. It will go to the poor, especially the children whom I love so much. I will also give to women, orphans, the elderly and people living with disabilities.
