Reply:
The Ministerial Handbook provides guidelines on the appointment of the staff in the Private Office It equally provides the recommended salary levels of each post The 3alary levels are adjusted on an annual basis as prescribed in the Public Service Regulations
The Office of the Minister had a full staff complement of 9 as defined 1n the Ministerial Handbook. In line with the Protection of Personal lnforrnatior1 Act (PoPi) and the Basic Conditions d Employment Act am unable to provide the members with such confidential information in the manner it is requested
I however draw the honourable members to the departments Annual Report wherein the organograrn of the department provides the information required Should it be insufficient. the department will make the personal files of the officials available for further scrutiny by the Auditor General as prescribed by the Act.
Approve/not approved
