I assume the question refers to the full-time or part-time employment of retired civil servants as part of the staffing of my Department. I am not aware of any retired civil servants who are employed in my Department on a full-time or part-time basis. Retired civil servants are engaged by my Department from time to time for specific and time-bound tasks or projects. Such engagements are normally remunerated on a fee per day basis.
