Centre for Civic Education (CCE) published the data on incomes of the Minister of Labour and Social Welfare in its research, “How much executives in public administration bodies earned in 2012?” based on the information which, on the request for free access for information, received from the Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare directly. Therefore, all confusions, and it seems that there are more of these than we, in the CCE, had primarily identified, in claims of the Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare and the former Minister of Labour and Social Welfare and the current Minister of Human and Minority Rights, Suad Numanović should be clarified amongst them. In addition, both the CCE and the public deserve a clear, evidence-based response, and taking of adequate responsibility of the party that did not provide truthful data in this case.
Namely, the CCE submitted, on 3 June 2013, as part of the research, “How much executives in public administration bodies earned in 2012?” simple questions to the Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare, as follows:
- How much executives within the Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare, e.g. Minister, Secretary of the Ministry, Assistant Ministers, Acting Assistant Ministers, chief of cabinet, spokesman, chief of departments etc. earned in net in 2012 – list of them with the total annual amounts or per month for the entire 2012;
- A list of all other remunerations for the same persons in 2012, on any basis in net amounts (e.g. fees paid for work in the various working groups, commissions, etc.), per month or per year with an indication on what basis is the amount paid for, which the respected Ministry submitted in its response on 10/06/2013.
