Cosatu: Mboweni not competent to talk about public wage bill cuts | Fin24
The public sector wage bill is not bloated and it is"irresponsible" of Finance Minister Tito Mboweni to announce a plan to address the issue when there is a bargaining process in place to address such matters, Cosatu said on Thursday.
"What we are not going to accept is what was attempted by the minister yesterday, to speak about what is not in his competence," said Losi in a media briefing following the federation's central executive committee. Losi said Mboweni himself had acknowledged the issue of understaffing among critical services of the public sector, adding that the public service may be bloated from the top.
