A number of staffing issues were raised including the high staff turnover within the EDD and the high vacancy rate. The Committee raised concerns about the vacant posts and wanted to know what plans are there to ensure that the post are filled expeditiously. It was indicated that the issue of vacant posts was becoming a concern as it had been raised several times before and the major concern being that this would adversely affect the EDD's capacity to deliver on its mandate The Committee also raised concerns that there was no clear information on staff compliment, the number of vacant posts and how the EDD was planning to fill the posts. The EDD was requested to present its revised organisational structure or staff establishment and the strategy on how it planned to fill the vacancies.
