________________________________________________________________
REPLY:
a) Table 1 shows that generally in December 2000 government employed
1,044,427 employees 100% of the post counted during this year and
during the 10 years up to December 2010, a huge number of unfunded
posts we created in Persal and this resulted in an unexpected growth
in number of posts but reluctance in filling the posts.
b) Table 2 and the attached Annexure A shows a breakdown to Province and
Department level and that is aimed at providing a reply to (aa (aa)),
(bb (bbb)),
c) However this report exclude replies to (cc) to (ii), this is due to
the fact that government use a central payroll system and the all the
other institutions use separate systems hence its impossible to get
data from these institutions to this effect.
