Fitz Jackson, the St Catherine South member of parliament, is cautioning colleague lawmakers who sit on the Public Administration and Appropriations Committee (PAAC) against calling for a vote to determine whether information requested from public servants should be produced.
His warning came after St Andrew East Rural Member of Parliament Juliet Holness called for a vote on whether Audrey Sewell, permanent secretary in the Office of the Prime Minister, should produce, among other things, a report on a reclassification of salaries and emoluments for the workers at HEART/NSTA Trust.
At last week’s sitting of the PAAC, committee Chairman Mikael Phillips had requested that Sewell provide the committee with information on the individual at the HEART/NSTA Trust who received a missive from the Ministry of Finance on a new salary structure for senior staff at the entity.
He also wanted the permanent secretary to produce a copy of a report prepared by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC) on reclassified salaries for the staff of HEART/NSTA Trust.
It was revealed last week that a reported decision by former managing director of the training agency, Janet Dyer, who approved salary increases for senior personnel without first getting the nod from the Ministry of Finance, had led to the board’s non-renewal of her contract.
