This is terrifying. And stupid and extortionate. In a country awash with gas and oil that should be benefitting her people. The greed of the regime...
You got me, too, with deprofessionalise. Is this a deliberate, mandates strategy or just the erosion of systems?
Ironically, here, there is a move, well it's been spoken about for well nigh 20 years, to professionalise the public service and appoint based on merit ans competence. I know because I was part of a team that worked on a recognition of prior learning guide. It was never used. Oh, and of course we have "cadre deployment". And people wonder why some rural municipalities are totally dysfunctional.
Thanks to avarice and corruption people, generally, a recent report is showing, worse off now than before democracy. Economically speaking, anyway.
It makes me want to scream.
Sorry for ranting.
Stay safe.
Thanks for the rant. It is needed. Many issues around the world remain unknown because people avoid talking about them
They don't want to get dirty, they don't want to be stressed, fill their lives with negativity or get in trouble with the government.
Guess what, bad/corrupt/criminal government will get to you sooner or later if not stopped, if not exposed.
Here the deprofessionalization has been intentional. Good professionals can be a pain in the ass; they know their thing, they speak their minds, they can't stand mediocrity. They have to be expunged.
Here ideological fidelity is rewarded. Never mind you don't know what you're doing. Just say yes to every order, sign whatever doc, repeat whatever lie you're told.
Lives are just collateral. We'll deal with that later, or will we? The world is not watching, those who watch can be bought, and those who can't be bought can be neutralized.
You can hear Louis Armstrong in the background.
