‘John Tamihere: I’ve had enough of faceless well-paid bureaucrats
There are so many faceless bureaucrats that I felt this was an opportune time to list a few of the country’s top officials, their ministries, salary bands (taken from the 2015-2016 Senior Pay Report) the number of Fulltime Employees from 2016-2017 Report and their 2017 budget. This list does not include the army of consultants who cost the taxpayers millions on top of that.
….There is a total of 28 government departments/ministries that have 55,216 FTEs and a budget of $78.8 billion.
If your mind is not boggling after looking at those numbers, there is something seriously wrong.
Those departments are actually non-contestable monopolies…..’
This, in a tiny country of around five million people!
