Minister of Agriculture Lobin Lowe has sent on paid leave all Members of Staff of Admarc.
He has also suspended all Admarc services except for social services.
Lowe has said at a press briefing that the pronouncements are with immediate effect and that they aim at ensuring that the institution begins to tick.
The other pronouncement that Lowe has made is that they are redefining Admarc.
He has cautioned that no Admarc employee is expected to report for duties unless communicated otherwise.
He says the pronouncements do not affect the sale of maize in hunger stricken districts.
