Dar es Salaam. Director of the Jakaya Kikwete Cardiac Institute (JKCI), Mohammed Janabi, said on Wednesday that the institute would not dwell on secondary school certificates during the vetting process of public servants.
It would instead focus on higher learning academic papers in an effort to crack down on ghost workers. “I am not against the government’s plan to crack down on ghost workers, I wouldn’t wish to penalise a medical doctor, who officially went through all academic ranks, but only failed during his O-Level exams,” Prof Janabi said.
He was speaking during a meeting that brought together staff members of JKCI and Muhimbili National Hospital to discuss the welfare of health care professionals.
His remarks come at a time, when the ministry of Public Service Management and Good Governance has ordered all institutions in the government to remove ghost workers, who are costing the government billions of shillings every month.
