Determination of Salaries for the Senior Management Structure (SMS): The Committee raised a variety of serious concerns on issues pertaining to the appointment of the SMS as well as the accompanying salary packages of the SMS members. Members of the Committee wanted to know whether the Council were aware of the decision to outsource the job grading and whether Council approved the salary scales on which the SMS of the Authority was appointed. The Council indicated that the appointment process was broken in two and that Council members were only part of the interview process, but not of the salary package approval process. Council acknowledged that the Council is not currently functioning optimally and that due to this; the Council was unaware of many decisions taken by the Authority. The Committee expressed concern to the evident nature of the dysfunction of the Council as there were no minutes available for the Council meetings in which salary packages were decided and stated that this was clearly a unilateral decision by the Chairperson and Director of PSIRA. The Committee further stated that the decision taken by the Minister of Police to request the Accountant-General of South Africa to launch an investigation into the salary packages of all Senior Managers in PSIRA are welcomed and supported.
