…admin officer gets $2.5M, Exec assistant $1.8M per month

The question of super salaries has raised its head once again, with the revelations that State Assets Recovery Agency (SARA) officials earn almost $5 million a month in salary and benefits and the wage bill was over $200 million in one year for the Agency.
This came to light in the National Assembly on Monday during the consideration of the budget estimates for the Legal Affairs Ministry. Attorney General Basil Williams was interrogated by his predecessor, Anil Nandlall about various allocations.
One that stood out was the sum of $285 million allocated under line item 6321, ‘subsidies and contributions to local organisations’. Asked to explain which organisation the money was going to, Williams revealed that it was earmarked for SARA.
He noted that $10 million of the amount was for capital expenses, while the remaining would be for current expenditure. An incredulous Nandlall requested a breakdown of this amount. It was then that Williams revealed of the current amount, $225 million would be spent on wages and salaries for SARA employees in just one year.
“The post of Director, the salary and benefits is $4.7 million per month,” Williams revealed. “The special assistant, that amount is $3.3 million; executive assistant, $1.86 million; Deputy Director, $3.3 million.”
Williams also noted that another executive assistant was earning $688,000, while the Chief Administrative Officer was carrying home $2.5 million. In addition, SARA’s Legal Adviser earns $3 million, while a lawyer in the Agency earns $1.4 million and an administrative officer, $679,000.
The Director of SARA is Professor Clive Thomas, who was at one time also Chairman of the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo). Thomas was also appointed a Presidential Advisor when the coalition Government came to office in 2015. SARA’s Deputy Director is Aubrey Heath-Retmeyer.
It was just recently that audit firm Ram and McRae suggested that SARA be scrapped altogether and its functions transferred to the Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU), in its published ‘budget focus’ review of Budget 2019.
The firm had cited some qualms with SARA, including the Agency’s failure to have its annual plan and Code of Practice tabled in the National Assembly. Pointing out that the $285 million the agency is set to receive in 2019 is an increase from last year’s amount, Ram and McRae was critical of this lapse.
Also, the firm had been of the view that SARA has failed to live up to its expectations of even recovering assets.

forum rules and all that

thanks

I am still waiting for Clive Thomas to start a small business.  The man has never had the responsibility to make payroll in his life. He has been paid by taxpayers money almost his complete life. 

I smell jealousy. But wait a minute here rass. Did you not say you are or were in the forces?  You were paid by taxpayers, so will be your retirement.

Some of y'all should stop wasting time all day on this board and apply for jobs at SARA.  The pay is good.

If the PPP wins in 2020 I'll apply for my Uitvlugt schoolmate Aubrey Retemyer's job in SARA. With that kinda salary I'll commission Elon Musk to build me a rocket-powered wheelchair. Travel to Guyana in the morning, dig up dirt on some PNC cardholders, and return to Canada before sundown.

ONLY PPP people engage in this kind of dishonesty

why?

Opposition Parliamentarian, Anil Nandlall fears the country will soon go bankrupt in light of the spending patterns of the government, with the latest revelation being the super salaries being paid to staff of the State Assets Recovery Agency (SARA) whereby the cleaners and handymen are raking in $75,000 per month.

“The country is not earning enough to sustain these kinds of expenditure,” Nandlall emphasised at a press conference on Saturday.

SARA has under its employ two cleaners and two handymen, each earning a salary of $75,000; a receptionist, four security guards and six drivers earning $120,000; a director earning $1.38M; a special assistant earning $980,000, and other officers cashing in six figure salaries.

The former Attorney General calculated that SARA will bleed the treasury approximately $1B annually and argued that government is better off removing the education tax.

“We can’t take VAT off (private) education for $350M but we can spend over a $1B on SARA and all they have done is seize some old computers from the Enmore NDC,” Nandlall asserted.

He also decried that a legal representative attached to SARA is earning more than 100 percent more than a lawyer at the Attorney General Chambers.

“The salary of a lawyer at the AG Chambers who has to go to court and defend this government from morning till night, take instructions from an Attorney General who demonstrably is incompetent and they have to work for less than $200,000 a month,” he stated.

People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) parliamentarian, Bishop Juan Edghill also heavily criticised the staff makeup of the entity, dubbing the unit a “super ministry” for political hacks.

“Forty-six staff members! That’s a ministry. We’ve had ministries under our governments that did not have so much staff. Minister Irfaan Ali’s Ministry of Housing didn’t have 46 staff,” he explained.

Bishop Edghill called on all Guyanese to condemn the use of taxpayers’ monies in this manner.

“We need to cry out in a loud voice, ‘shame, shame, shame on the APNU/AFC government of raping the public purse to carry out their political agenda,” Edghill stressed.

Edghill also called out the government for “double dipping” in the contingency fund for monies for SARA, highlighting that monies were already budgeted for that State Assets Recovery Unit (SARU) for the entire year yet the coalition requested more than $100M in supplementary funds for the same entity.

Cain got a point. Prashad was paid with tax payers money his almost complete working life just like Thomas. But Prashad don't go after business men who have the responsibility of making and meeting pay rolls.
