Answer

I am advised that the implementation of the Government Digital Delivery Agency (GDDA) within the Public Service Commission is an ongoing project, and as such, establishment costs cannot be determined at this stage. I am also advised that effective 1 April 2026, 149 employees transferred from the Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) to the GDDA within the Commission.
