The Minister has said he will not impose a deadline on the new process he has announced but he does need to inject a sense of urgency into the process. We are asking people who are new entrants since 2012 to do the same job as those who were there before them at a time when rental costs are sky high and there are many other issues which affect them. There needs to be an urgency about it.

It is time the Minister laid out a roadmap for the gradual unwinding of FEMPI. The Minister needs to introduce proposals against which an unwinding can be measured. People need to be given some sort of a sense of roadmaps, measurables and a process for the unwinding. Perhaps the Minister will also clarify where we are at on the public service pay commission. I would like to hear from that soon.
