Last year, the Accounts General concluded that 9 thousand 51 temporary posts were approved in 16 agencies and that this action was wrong.
According to the General Account, the Prime Minister and Cabinet Office has also increased the number of special category posts from 5 to 9 without justifying it.
The Accountant General has drawn the serious attention of the government to increase the quality of service delivery according to the workload while reviewing the posts.
Some officials of the Prime Minister’s and Cabinet Office have said that keeping the posts of 9 secretaries in the Prime Minister’s Office is wrong and erroneous.
