A Word of Caution

The Secretariat has explicitly warned against bribery in any form during the recruitment process — whether offering or accepting it in exchange for a job placement or work station assignment. The process is designed to run on merit, fairness, and transparency, based strictly on the qualifications outlined for each role.

If you know someone with a diploma in tailoring, welding, carpentry, motor mechanics, food production, or secretarial studies, this is a solid opportunity worth sharing before the July 31 deadline.
