Weeks after the long-awaited State Assets Recovery Bill was passed, the newly-established State Assets Recovery Agency (SARA) is operating without a budget, but according to its Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Major (rtd) Aubrey Heath-Retemyer, the entity’s financial plan will be submitted within another few weeks which will pave the way for key administrative matters to be addressed.
He said that ideally, “we should have had the finance arranged or lined up so that as long as the bill was passed, the money could have been there and we would have been able to move into somewhere…that’s the ideal.”
