THE Public Service Commission plans to audit all government ministries but they will need an extra $2.5m to complete the task.
This was revealed by PSC chairman Josefa Serulagilagi at the second meeting of the National People's Charter Advisory Council (NPCAC) held at the parliamentary complex yesterday.
The auditing will be done after renovations to government quarters, which are to be leased out, are completed.
"We have already $300,000 from the government budget but that is not enough," Mr Serulagilagi said.
"We will need an (additional) allocation of $2.5 million. We started with $300,000 and we are hoping that since no outside fund is coming in, then we will probably have to ask the government to top up the allocation that we have already got."
Mr Serulagilagi said the auditing procedure was a challenge because it involved all ministries.
"It's a big job to go to all ministries and start auditing the staff, the qualification of people that are employed and the right size for that particular ministry," he said.
"All this will be taken into account, its not really losing job, its just reorganisation. There may be more people in one ministry, and then we will have to rationalise the number."
