Gov’t ends public servants’ rotation, normal work schedule resumes

The Irfaan Ali government has decided to end the public service rotation schedule that was put in in place since April due to the local COVID-19 outbreak and has directed all workers to resume to normal working hours.

The parliamentary opposition yesterday criticised the move as “irresponsible and reckless,” while charging that it endangers the life of every public servant and their families.

An October 7th, 2020 memorandum, sent by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development to ministry staff, explained that they “are required to return to normal hours of work” and added that the ministry would discontinue transporting staff to and from work.
