PREMIER Service Medical Investments (PSMI) has laid the blame on Treasury for the staggered and delayed salaries.
Staff Reporter
PSMI is a Premier Service Holdings Company unit responsible for the management of health facilities.
In a circular dated June 20, 2022 seen by HealthTimes, PSMI managing director Dr Tafadzwa Gutu explained that the delay in salary payments was in part on the back of the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development’s failure to honour its promises in time.
It is also important to note that Treasury is yet to review its cash flows to PSMI as promised in the meeting of 13 April 2022 wherein both PSMAS and PSMI were requested to submit their monthly requirements to operate viably,” he said.
“Instead, the Treasury instuction for PSMAS to pay 60 percent of the Employer Contribution to 3rd Party service providers still stands resulting in PSMI receiving inadequate cash flows which are less than the current PSMAS debtors position.”
