Thursday, February 25, 2010

Despite President Ian Khama's vow to fill vacancies in government departments when he took over in April 2008, the situation is getting worse, at least according to a presentation in parliament yesterday by Lesego Motsumi, Minister of Presidential affairs and public administration.

Presenting her budget proposal for 2010/11 Motsumi revealed that the number of vacancies in December last year was 3507 compared to 3228 of the manpower establishment in December 2008. This represents a 0.05% increase from the previous year rate.
