E600 DEDUCTED FROM LILLIAN’S MONTHLY PAY

MBABANE – A total of E600 is deducted monthly from the salary of Deputy Commissioner of the Anti Corruption Commission Lillian Zwane and this amount reflects as an overpayment of salary.

However, it remains unspecified when Zwane was overpaid the salary and how much the balance of the overpayment is.
In March 2015, Zwane’s terms of employment were highlighted in the report of the Auditor General (AG), where the latter drew the attention of the controlling officer of the Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs about irregularities in terms of Zwane’s employment.

The AG raised concern about Zwane’s secondment to the ACC as she had previously worked as Industrial Manager at His Majesty’s Correctional Services and was seconded to the ACC effective March 2008.

The AG said Zwane signed a contract upon her secondment, which was irregular because she was still on pensionable terms with government and was entitled to a pensionable gratuity which amounted to E397 137.43 at the end of her first four terms.
However, when Zwane appeared before the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) in May 2015 she denied that she had not been entitled to the money and said she believed that she was not supposed to pay it.

This was despite the fact that she acknowledged that there was an unforeseen anomaly in the manner in which her secondment was effected but she said she had done all this with the assistance of the then JSC Secretary and retired Principal Secretary in the Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs Sicelo Dlamini.

She further told the PAC that she had not written a letter to her former employers at the Correctional Services but instead had verbally communicated with the then commissioner informing him that she had since been hired by the ACC.
