Reply:
1.(a).The former Chairperson of the Board was never paid as the Chairperson of the Board since he became Chief Executive Officer from 15 October 2019 to 31 March 2020.
He was never paid as Chairperson of the Board at the time he was the Acting Chief Executive Officer as he stepped down as a board member.
2.(a). The former Chairperson was not appointed by the Minister to act as Chief Executive Officer of PanSALB. This appointment was made by the Board.
(c). The post of CEO was advertised in October 2019 and was filled on 01 April 2020.
I instructed the officials in my department to do a verification process to ascertain the correct amounts.
