As at the 1 October 2009, there were 21 civil service vacancies in my Department and its agencies as follows:
Grade | Department | Civil Defence Board |
Principal Officer | 1 | |
Assistant Principal Officer | 1 | 1 |
Higher Executive Officer | 2 | |
Executive Officer | 4 | |
Staff Officer | 1 | |
Clerical Officer | 9 | |
Services Officers/Attendants etc | 2 | |
Total | 20 | 1 |
The average length of vacancies is 5 months. My Department has not sought sanction to have any of these vacancies filled. In addition a total of 30 vacancies have arisen among civilian employees of the Department (State Industrial Employees) since the Moratorium on Recruitment and Promotion in the Public Service was introduced. My Department has not sought sanction to have any of these vacancies filled.
