Some special constables do not receive an annual bonus or commuted overtime while some do because what is paid by the government agencies hiring their services is inadequate.
Minister of Home Affairs Clement Rohee told Parliament yesterday that the shortage of funds to pay one category of the Special Constabulary was often as a result of absenteeism and theft.
PNCR-1G Member of Parliament Mervyn Williams had asked the minister why some members of the Special Constabulary were not in receipt of monies from the President’s Annual Award or commuted overtime.
