Works and Infrastructure Minister Jearlean John says workers hired under the Government’s National Recruitment Drive are “doing a fantastic job,” even as some employees continue to complain about delayed payments and uncertainty over their contracts.
Speaking with Guardian Media, John again defended the programme and said the Ministry was willing to follow up on complaints once workers came forward with details.
“I don’t know who they are,” John said, referring to workers complaining about non-payment.
