This man is just being problematic. Why not verify their appointment processes and carry out other due diligence . Why all this power play??? Unnecessary!
ReplyDeleteDidn't you read where it was stated that a committe setup by the past administration gave the resolution that led to the Relieving of the workers. Go and read again
DeleteThen hire them back legally. Or does the governor wants to turn the affected employees to hoodlums?
