Investigation next week into controversial dismissal of staff from Public Service Ministry

The Government has commissioned seasoned Human Resources practitioner Lance Carberry to investigate the dismissal of three employees of the Public Service Ministry by the new Public Service Minister Tabita Sarabo-Halley.

Director General of Ministry of the Presidency Joseph Harmon said the investigation would be carried out next week.

The three employees were dismissed by Minister Sarabo-Halley, but the dismissals were rescinded and the workers were placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation.

Harmon said the workers are all on contract with the Government.
