NTMA criticised over job process

POLITICIANS and the National Treasury Management Agency (NTMA) clashed over the “inside appointment” of a director to head up a new body that will manage state assets.

Criticism was levelled at the NTMA yesterday over the decision not to advertise for, hold interviews for or even reveal the salary of the director of NewEra.

The Government last week announced the establishment of NewEra, which will handle the sale and management of state assets.
