THE government has turned-down a pilot scheme used to employ civil servants, especially retired and redundant officials, to government jobs resolving such posts to be filled through the public service recruitment system.
Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa issued
the directive in Morogoro on Sunday shortly after visiting the region
for a three-day official tour.
According to the PM, the system will
allow public servants access their notable benefits other than being
re-employed using two-year contracts. Posts such as driving, is now
under the system, he said “There is no need to council to offer contact
employments to such kind of jobs.”
But the prime minister allowed councils
to re-employ retired civil servants to on contractual terms, especially
in the field of professional science teachers. The premier, however,
directed the council to thoroughly undertake an assessment to find the
exact number of individuals employed under such arrangement.
Speaking on phantom workers, Mr Majaliwa
reported that the special identification exercise to establish the
number of ghost workers ends this month while action will be taken with
immediate effect.
Morogoro Region Commissioner Dr Stephen
Kebwe said the region was still reviewing its workforce through its
payroll. Already, he said, the region has revealed 315 phantom workers
which caused 2.132bil/- in loss to the government.
Meanwhile the Prime Minister said the
government will not hesitate to fire leaders who happen to be a burden
in executing various development projects. “The government has allocated
funds for development projects. But some leaders are misleading the
public about the projects.
All directors who will be found gracing
such false statements will soon find themselves jobless.” He took the
opportunity to warn all executive directors across the country to abide
by the new directives.
