Money from sale of tasks will go to accommodation

The ministry's permanent secretary, Samuel Rathedi, has acknowledged that as a result of budget cuts due to the economic recession, office accommodation for all departments under his ministry is a major challenge.

Some departments were allocated funds to develop their plots, but because of the recession, the funds were frozen.  Addressing staff here last Thursday, Rathedi said the ministry was considering interventions like renting out portable cabins to relieve the situation.
