The Minority in Parliament has rejected plans by the government to increase government machinery personnel by 1,570 people.
The group says this number is contained in the 2023 budget statement.
The Minority said it is unacceptable to increase government machinery staff to 3,681 at a time when there is an announced freeze on public sector employment.
The passage of the budget remains critical to the fortunes of the government in its quest to secure an International Monetary Fund (IMF) bailout.
The latest development follows the previous stand by the minority to reject the 2.5% VAT increment as contained in the 2023 budget statement presented to Parliament by the Finance minister.
