Government cancels coronavirus-induced cuts in public service staff

The government has revoked its move scaling down the number of public service staff in public departments and offices due to coronavirus.

In a September 23 memo seen by The Fatu Network, the nation’s civil service chief Noah Touray is seen telling all government departments to ask all their staff to return to work.

A government spokesperson confirmed the memo as ‘accurate’.

The government had earlier this year cut down on the number of civil servants allowed to report to work due to the coronavirus pandemic.
