Op­po­si­tion Leader Pen­ne­lope Beck­les has con­demned the Gov­ern­ment’s Oc­to­ber 2025 na­tion­al re­cruit­ment dri­ve as a “farce” and “pub­lic­i­ty stunt,” as she not­ed the Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar ad­min­is­tra­tion had hired a mere 1,801 peo­ple de­spite promis­ing 20,000 jobs.

Beck­les said this has come even while the Gov­ern­ment had put 70,000 cit­i­zens on the bread­line.
