Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>In an effort to save costs, Government has decided that Government Spokesperson Alpheous Nxumalo should use an economy class airline in his trip to Turkey.<\/b><\/p>\n

This move was made by Prime Minister\u2019s Office Principal Secretary (PS) Bertram Stewart. Nxumalo is supposed to form part of an advance party to a trip to be undertaken by His Majesty King Mswati III to that country.<\/p>\n

According to a statement issued from the Prime Minister\u2019s Office, the move by PS Stewart was applauded by many Government officials, who viewed it as a cost cutting exercise on external trips.<\/p>\n

When contacted on the latest developments, Nxumalo referred questions on this matter to Stewart.<\/p>\n

However, the Government mouthpiece acknowledged that there was a need for Government to cut down on expenses to save its money for important projects aimed at improving the lives of Emaswati.<\/p>\n

Nxumalo expressed hope that the cost cutting measures would apply across all Government personnel in all Government Ministries and Departments.<\/p>\n
