My Department do not use employment agencies to recruit workers on either a full-time or a part-time basis. All recruitment to the Department is through the Civil Service Commission or the National Manpower Service.
So far as the bodies under my aegis are concerned the recruitment of workers on a full-time or part-time basis is a matter of day-to-day administration for the bodies themselves and one in which I have no function.
