Public security staff on paid leave for over a year

The Ministry of Public Security employees who are under investigation over $22.556 million in transactions done in 2015, have been on administrative leave since March last year, receiving full salaries while an investigation into the matter drags on.

This was related at the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) hearing on Monday by the ministry’s Permanent Secretary Daniella McCalman, who stated that while an interim police report was completed, the ministry was waiting on the police and the Public Service Commission (PSC) to proceed with the matter.
