Khakhau, Ms KL to ask the Minister of Tourism
What (a) is the salary of each (i) chief executive officer and (ii) top executive position in each state-owned entity reporting to her and (b) total amount does each get paid to attend a meeting?
Reply:
(a) (i) Chief Executive officer
I have been informed that the position of Chief Executive Officer is currently vacant and thus there are no salary costs incurred. The only costs incurred is the payment of an acting allowance to the Chief Marketing Officer who is the acting CEO.
The entity’s salaries are governed by the Guaranteed Remuneration Policy and the employment offers are at Notch 1. Should a need arise to offer beyond the Notch 1, this process would require a Board resolution. Deviations are based on a number of reasons including the following: What the candidate is currently on, benefits and other factors which the candidate will discuss with the Board.
