CSC denies finance ministry’s claims
11 Nov 2009, 1:33 AM
The Civil Service Commission has denied claims by the finance ministry that Rf1 billion (US$77 million) was injected into budget in June due to incorrect information provided by the commission.
A press release issued by the CSC yesterday states that the commission worked together with the finance ministry and sought its advice through all the stages when the pay scheme for civil servants was restructured in February.
“The two sides did not carry out the work only at a technical level. The highest level on both sides was involved,” it reads. “Both sides examined all the accounts and knew the figures. A surprising figure did not emerge in the accounts either then or now.”
The finance ministry reportedly told parliament’s finance committee that it added the Rf1 billion because of incomplete information about civil servants when the pay scheme was restructured in February.
