Do ICTA employees enjoy high remuneration packages with lots of benefits?
ICTA staff are compensated with remuneration packages that are consistent with market and international rates. There has been no secrecy or illegality in this regard. All senior staff including Directors were interviewed and hired on applications received through a paper advertisement published on 29th December 2002 in the Sunday Observer. This advertisement openly and specifically states that salaries and facilities will be provided consistent with market competitive rates. In setting remuneration packages to the senior staff, all salaries and other benefit offered to them in their previous positions have also been taken into consideration. Hence all staff at ICTA have been recruited openly and legally. It is also a fact that ICTA has never hired individuals due to any political influence. Mobile phones are provided to ICTA staff for official purposes. In the information age, mobile phones are no longer considered as luxury items, but as a tool required to carry out duties effectively
