Gov’t Ensures Legitimacy of Recruitment and Payment Processes Ahead of Transition

The government has assured stakeholders that ongoing recruitment and payment activities are proceeding with the requisite statutory approvals as the current administration prepares to hand over power on January 7, 2025.

In a statement issued by the presidency, the government emphasized that its mandate remains valid until the close of January 6, 2025, reaffirming that these actions comply with legal and procedural requirements.

The statement also encouraged individuals to present any specific allegations of illegality to the transition committee for investigation and resolution.

“Regarding concerns about ongoing recruitment and payments, it was noted that the Government’s term expires at the midnight of 6th January 2025. These recruitment processes and payments have received the relevant statutory approvals and have not been proven to be illegal. It was decided that any specific allegation of illegality about any particular payment or recruitment should be brought to the attention of the Transition Committee for a decision to be made,” the statement read.

Contrary to rumors, the government clarified that claims of a transition committee decision to halt or redirect payments and recruitment processes are inaccurate and do not reflect the committee’s official records.

Government reaffirmed its commitment to a smooth and transparent transition, ensuring minimal disruption to governance and policy continuity.
