Halkitis: We Had To Engage Senior Retired Officers Due to Manpower Needs
Finance Minister Michael Halkitis says manpower shortages forced the government to bring retired senior customs officers back on the job.
His comments come one day after the Bahamas Customs, Immigration and Allied Workers Union publicly raised concerns about stalled promotions, qualified officers being overlooked, and employees remaining in the same positions for years.
While defending the decision to re-engage retired officers, Halkitis insists the Union’s concerns have not “fallen on deaf ears.”
