The Government is moving to create two new positions within the Justice Ministry, the director and deputy director of the Electronic Monitoring Unit (EMU). This is according to the 99th report of the Salaries Review Commission (SRC) which was laid in the Senate yesterday.
It says among the functions and powers of the EMU are to ensure the security system of the electronic monitoring of individuals; retrieving and analysing information for the system and reporting any non-compliance with the decision of the court or competent authority and breaches related to the use of an electronic device. The SRC is proposing that the salary of the director be $25,370 a month with additional transport, subsistence, housing, entertainment and other allowances.
This development was in keeping with the passage of legislation to initiate the electronic monitoring of pensioners.
