Reports reaching Foroyaa, indicate that eleven staff from the Social Security and Housing Finance Corporation (SSHFC), have been suspended for six months with effect from Tuesday December 4th 2018.

According to reports, more staff suspensions and or dismissals from SSHFC, is on the way in the coming days or weeks.

According to staff who spoke to this reporter, the atmosphere and working condition is not what it used to be at the SSHFC, and most of them do not know their fate. They added that more than two hundred staff appended their names and signature to a memo sent to the President’s office.

The report indicate that the names that have been sent on memo to the office of the President. It is their view that those staff who do not support the decision of Government to sack Momodou Camara are being victimised. that they want Government to revisit the Ombudsman’s report which they say is more reliable; that they are disappointed with the decision of Government.

Some of the staff told this reporter that the sacking of Momodou Camara from the Corporation, has created deep divisions among staff of the Corporation he was representing.

The staff urge Government to consider the demand of the majority of workers at the SSHFC, who support their representative Momodou Camara.

In a letter written to the management of the Corporation from the Office of the Secretary General and Head of the Civil Service advising the Board to suspend these staff, the Office warns that ‘‘should any of the staff exhibit an attitude or action that undermines the integrity and smooth functioning of the Corporation, ‘tougher’ disciplinary action, will be taken against them.”
