Mr Muhammad-Janaral disclosed this to PT on Monday. He said the state has already distributed the forms for 4,400 of the state’s 44,000 job slots to politicians.
This site earlier reported that the Ministry of Labour and Productivity had insisted that Festus Keyako, junior minister will be in charge of the process as against the position of Senators.
He said the allocation was to address politicians’ interference in the selection processes.
“We have commenced the distribution of 10 per cent of 44,000 forms to politicians because we don’t want interference in the selection process.
“These politicians include the governor, his deputy, senators, members of House of Representatives, House of Assembly members, local government chairmen, councillors and supervisory councillors.
“They are not diverting the forms somewhere else as they are expected to distribute them to their people at the local level,” he said.
Mr Muhammad-Janaral said the formula is the same nationwide as the federal government has directed all state committees to allocate 10 per cent to politicians.
