(b) Budget increase of 6.55% from the 2008-09 financial year to the
2009-10 financial year represents the inflationary increase.
Budget increase of 20.9% from the 2009-10 financial year to the
2010-11 financial year is justified as a result of the filling
of vacant posts within Ministerial Services.
END.
