Ministry of Interior orders strict control on local employment, banning the hiring of individuals with a history of corruption
The Ministry of Interior has issued an urgent order to all local administrative organizations (LAOs) nationwide to increase the stringency of their recruitment process for outsourced services, aiming to prevent corruption and maintain higher standards of transparency within government agencies.
The order explicitly states that local agencies are strictly prohibited from hiring individuals with a history of corruption or those who have been removed from government recruitment eligibility lists. This measure is intended to screen for suitable and ethical personnel to serve in these roles.
Furthermore, the Ministry of Interior has instructed executives of local administrative organizations to thoroughly verify the backgrounds of all applicants before finalizing any employment contracts. Should any violations occur or if there is negligence in the verification process leading to damages, the agency's executives will be held accountable in accordance with government regulations.
This measure is part of a policy to establish good governance at the local level, ensuring public confidence in the performance of government officials and preventing individuals with inappropriate backgrounds from exploiting government positions for personal gain.
This action has garnered significant public interest, as it represents a crucial step toward elevating local employment standards to be more transparent and accountable, which will ultimately benefit the provision of public services to citizens in the long term.
