The number of vacant positions at GGMC is abnormal for most organisations

Dear Editor, A prospective candidate wondered why your editorials have not enquired about the number of positions of Heads of Departments advertised as vacant in GGMC these past weeks, positing that it was abnormal for most organisations, particularly of the public sector, to operate with such a vacuum for an indefinite period: –              Manager, Mines –              Manager, Geological Services –              Manager, Environmental                  Division –              Manager, Administration –              Human Resources Manager –              Assistant Commissioner, Finance –              Chief Security Officer The enquirer speculated that it could not be as a result of resignations, unless of course they were forced, which is the same as if the incumbents were fired – leading one to speculate about the nature of any Board decisions, and the latter’s implications, given the current work environment projected in comparable areas.
