    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) A total of 115 senior public officers resigned from their posts by 3rd September, 2012 to contest elective posts in the country’s 2013 General Elections. I, hereby, table the list of the public officers. (b) The Government has put in place adequate measures to ensure that Ministries, parastatals and other Government departments continue to operate smoothly. (c) With regard to presidential appointees, instructions have been issued that the senior most officers in the affected institutions hold those positions in an acting capacity while awaiting the identification and eventual appointment of substantive office holders after due consultations under the current arrangement. The positions left vacant, subject to Public Service Commission appointments, are usually filled by deployment and later on if advertisements are necessary, they are accordingly advertized and the process followed in accordance with the Public Service procedures. It is important to emphasize that the civil service is structured in such a way that there will always be a competent officer able to act at very short notice whenever any vacancy arises."
