Evidence

The Honourable members of the National Assembly are, on the other hand, aware of the fact that new employments of daily paid staff, of personnel on probation and on contract have been effected concurrently with the dismissals referred to above and can easily realize that these employments have been made regardless of any principle of justice and equity and that they cannot be considered legally valid unless the conditions governing the public competitive examinations for vacancies in the Civil Service, as set forth in the Civil Service Law of 1962, are fully satisfied. — Abdi Ismail Samatar, Africa’s First Democrats, 805
