Why it matters
This warning addresses corruption risks in public sector hiring, which is critical for maintaining trust in government recruitment.
The Health Department on Wednesday advised candidates applying for the post of contractual staff nurses to be wary of intermediaries and not pay money to anyone promising appointments.
The District Health Society had recently invited applications for 4,724 posts of contractual/temporary staff nurses. In a post on social media, the Office of Health Minister, responding to an allegation that money was demanded for posting, said that the recruitment is being conducted in a transparent and merit-based manner.
“Candidates are requested to note that no payment or fee is required for selection or appointment. They are advised to exercise caution and not respond to any individual or intermediary who claims to influence the recruitment process in exchange for money or any other consideration,” it said.
