"There is no freeze on employment," he stated emphatically, reassuring the public that recruitment would continue based on the country’s economic needs.
His remarks are expected to provide relief to job seekers and public sector workers who have been uncertain about the government’s hiring policies.
The Finance Minister further emphasised that the government remains committed to creating jobs and improving employment conditions, particularly for the youth.
The clarification also signals the government's intention to sustain essential public services and ensure that key sectors, such as health and education, receive adequate personnel.
