The government workforce has increased by 6,530 employees over the past three years, bringing the total to 55,466.
The expansion covers civil service and other public-sector posts. No detailed breakdown by ministry or region was provided in the available statistics.
The growth comes as the government pursues large infrastructure and service-delivery programmes. Critics have previously questioned the sustainability of public-sector expansion given fiscal pressures and reserve constraints.
Official figures on payroll costs or productivity metrics were not released alongside the headcount numbers.
