The positions were deemed by the Council of Ministers as absolutely necessary for the smooth operation of the Public Service and concern, mainly, positions of senior managerial and intermediate managerial level in the salary scale A11 and above.
The chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Finance, Nikolas Papadopoulos, as well as its member, George Perdikis, disagreed, at the last session of the Committee, with the release of these positions, with the other Members of the Committee sharing their concerns and concerns, requesting information on the reasons why in certain Government Services and Departments the government is requested to release managerial positions while the needs for staff in lower positions and salary scales are greater.
