16/8/2021: al-Taghyeer - Hamdok freezes Foreign Affairs’ recent employments

Al-Taghyeer report that Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok announced that a special committee was formed to look into the Foreign Affairs’ ministry’s latest round of appointments, following his review of extensive reports provided by both Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Labour’s civil service selection committee which led to the freezing and cancelling of new appointments.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dr. Maryam al-Mahdi, had also formed her own committee to investigate complaints about the ministry’s recently appointed personnel, which accused the ministry of rejecting people who had passed the application exams and hired people who had failed instead.
