The policy is to cap the numbers at approximately 280,000, reducing it by 5,000 over two years. This will not be a great imposition because much of it will be achieved by way of natural wastage. I have sent a clear signal that this is the limit. Proposals coming before the Government over the years have included additional numbers such as one assistant secretary, four principal officers, two assistant principal officers, etc. Just to announce the weather on days the Cabinet meets would require additional staff. All areas of the public service, from the Civil Service to agencies, see this as another way of acquiring additional staff. I sent a clear signal in the budget that there will be a cap on numbers in the public service at approximately 280,000. I am pleased to be able to reiterate that policy because it has not been commented on since the budget.
