The People’s National Congress has accused the government of sacking opposition supporters from the civil service and state-owned enterprises.
Seven months into office, the new administration has been “penalising and sacking employees of state offices and companies based on their political beliefs,” the PNC alleged in a statement Sunday.
“This is despite the ruling party’s pledge that all state employees would have job security regardless of the party they support.”
President’s office spokesman Ibrahim Hood dismissed the allegations as unfounded and reiterated President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih’s assurance of non-discrimination.
