The low temperature non-exponential transients of photoconductivity build-up in gallium doped Cd_{0.99}Mn_{0.01}Te and CdTe alloys possessing DX centers were studied. It was found that the two-exponential model commonly used to explain the persistent photoconductivity growth in semiconductors with DX centers describes properly solely the photokinetics obtained for CdTe:Ga. In the case of Cd_{0.99}Mn_{0.01}Te:Ga the stretched-exponential approach is more appropriate, for it explains the short-time power-law exhibited by the experimental data.
