The Democratic Alliance has called for disciplinary processes to be concluded as soon as possible. This is after suspended Chief Director of Legal Services in the Department of Labour Advocate N Phasha is still earning his monthly salary, even though he has not worked since his suspension back in October 2011.
DA MP of Labour Ian Ollis said
using the Department of Labour’s annual reports over the last three years, it
is estimated that Advocate Phasha could have conservatively accumulated close
on R2 million in wages for sitting at home while the disciplinary process
ensues.
Ollis said what is quite clear
is that the ANC run government has failed to implement proper procedures to
ensure the completion of disciplinary processes within reasonable time frames,
and therefore tacitly allows officials to be on suspension endlessly, with full
pay.
Ollis said they are requesting
the Leader of Government Business, Cyril Ramaphosa that as a matter of urgency,
he intervene in the matter and ensure the disciplinary process is concluded as
soon as possible.
“It is unacceptable that
ordinary tax paying South Africans are footing the bill for a suspended
employee’s salary, which now borders on R2 million Ollis added.
