The Prime Minister’s Office has confirmed that over the last 12 months, government employed 1,672 new Public Service workers. This number does not include the number of new employees taken on by government authorities such as MEPA, Sunday newspaper Illum reports.
Between 11 October 2010 and 11 October 2011, 1,394 people stopped working in the public services sector. These workers were not only replaced, but an additional 278 were employed. According to Illum, this intake does not tally with statements that the number of those employed with government should decrease.
Julia Farrugia is a former editor of Illum newspaper.
