Can anyone provide the roles and responsibilities if any of the following job titles in government, it seems that these have been identified in all levels from federal to the local councils.

Special Advisers;
Senior Special Assistants;
Special Assistants;
Personal Assistants;

It is my humble understanding that for a government to function efficiently and effectively, it must seek to reduce bureaucracy at all levels. This however is not happening in our country, hence the under-development that is rampant all over.

I personally think all these bogus jobs should be scrapped to limit the expenditure of government and in turn allow developmental projects to take effect in the country.
