    "content": "(iii) The number of staff who opted not to be absorbed is 139. (iv) The details of the package paid to each employee who exited are reflected in the attached payroll, which I will lay on the Table. (b) Deployment of those absorbed into the Civil Service by job category is reflected in the attached list, which I will also lay on the Table. (c) With regard to the steps taken to ensure placement and salaries are commensurate with qualification, I would like to say the following: (i) The Cabinet decision was that those staff absorbed must meet the prevailing academic and professional requirements for corresponding grades in the Civil Service as prescribed in various schemes of service and career guidelines. (ii) The staff absorbed were to fit within the existing Civil Service salary and benefits structure in order to avoid distortions which might lead to discontent in the Service. (iii) Ministries and Departments were instructed to ascertain qualifications of each staff and deploy them appropriately. The Ministries were then to deploy the staff at their respective headquarters, provincial or district offices according to the staffing needs of each Ministry or Department. (iv) The Ministry of State for Public Service, which was mandated by the Cabinet to oversee the exercise has continued to review the deployment to ensure that all staff are deployed according to their qualifications. My Ministry will continue to monitor the deployment until all the ex- ECK staff are appropriately placed. I am aware that, given the large number that we have had to handle, there may be cases of square pegs in round holes or where there were overlapping qualifications or experiences these were not adequately taken into account. My Ministry is willing to look at each case individually and rectify where it is possible."
