Important Warning from the Ministry
The announcement strongly emphasises transparency and warns the public:
“The recruitment process is very transparent. Applicants should therefore beware of any person who may approach them on the pretext of assisting them for recruitment at a fee. The Ministry therefore advises all applicants not to make any payment for this process. Whoever pays money does so at his/her own risk.”
The Ministry has made it clear that no fees are required at any stage of the application.
