A member of the Public Sector Transformation team has revealed that the unit has uncovered startling realities in undertaking its work to recommend measures for the rationalisation of the civil service.
Speaking this morning during the sitting of Parliament’s Public Administration and Appropriations Committee, Peter Moses, said some of the current undertakings in Government have been unnecessarily costing the taxpayers billions of dollars.
Among them, he says the names of dead people are on Government’s payroll.
The Public Sector Transformation Unit has reviewed all government agencies and has made suggestions on where there should be staff cuts and mergers.
A key aim of the process, which is being undertaken over an 18-month to two-year period, is to achieve a lowering of the public sector wage bill, in relation to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to below 10 per cent.
The GDP is the total value of goods and services of a country.
