The People’s National Congress has announced plans to maintain a registry of opposition supporters sacked from the civil service and state-owned companies.
“The biggest complaint to both our parties is the extreme fear of job security and complaints of young people being isolated from the jobs we created,” PNC deputy leader Ibrahim Shujau told reporters Wednesday night at a joint press conference with coalition partner Progressive Party of Maldives.
“We will maintain this registry and on 2023, with the grace of God, we will come back to power and we will give back the jobs with pending pay to all the young people who were fired by this government.”
Several workers have been laid off after their posts were abolished under changes brought to company structures, the outgoing lawmaker said.
