CEPEP reflecting Government

THE EDITOR: I am now convinced that this is CEPEP country. The latest project to join the CEPEP operations is the Ministry of Finance. CEPEP is characterised with plenty names of workers and little or no achievements. In the past, there was one Minister of Finance and one Permanent Secretary who successfully ran the Ministry. Today there are four Ministers in the Ministry of Finance coupled with four Permanent Secretaries and four Advisers to these Ministers. In addition there are several persons who are employed on “contract” in key positions. What has the Ministry to show for this massive and expensive employment exercise? May be it is just jobs for the “boys and girls?”
