The Department of Civil Security (CSD) is grappling with a formidable challenge in recouping outstanding payments from both public and private institutions for services rendered until December 31, 2022, as highlighted in the Annual Audit Report for the year 2022.
Despite persistent efforts, the department finds itself unable to recover a substantial amount, totaling Rs. 334 million, in overdue payments as of March 24, 2023.
The Department of Civil Security holds the responsibility of providing security and various services to a diverse array of entities, encompassing government ministries, banks, and hospitals.
The inability to collect these arrears has placed a considerable strain on the finances of the Department of Civil Security. These payments are essential for covering operational costs, including employee salaries and equipment maintenance. The repercussions of the outstanding arrears are reportedly hindering the department’s ability to fulfill its financial obligations effectively.
