Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham yesterday declared he will stake his reputation on the economy improving by next year.
He said government is supporting a bloated public payroll but it has never been hard-pressed to make civil servants salaries and they don’t have to worry about salaries being paid.
Despite this, Mr Ingraham said the government will not be firing civil servants, but when things get better in private sector he anticipates civil servants leaving the public sector for better private jobs.
