PPP calls SARA ‘super ministry’

Salary and allowances paid to those employed by the State Asset Recovery Agency

The opposition People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) has declared the State Assets Recovery Agency (SARA) to be a super ministry staffed by “political hacks” being paid from the public purse to fulfil a political agenda.

Speaking at a press conference held yesterday, PPP/C Member of Parliament Juan Edghill declared that based on the compensation being offered, even he would be willing to work at SARA.

Referencing a document laid in the House on Friday, Edghill showed that those employed at the agency are being paid sums which equal and in some cases exceed the salaries on the higher end of the General Service Scale.
