Experienced, professional youth to get govt jobs: Hakimi

KABUL (Pajhwok): Experienced and professional youth would be recruited in government departments through the Capacity Building for Result (CBR) programme, the finance minister said on Sunday.

Testifying before a Wolesi Jirga panel, Finance Minister Eklil Hakimi briefed the lawmakers on achievements, activities and recruitments of the CBR programme, a statement from the Ministry of Finance said.

Besides Hakimi, the meeting was also attended by the ministers of public health, rural rehabilitation and development, economy, labour and social affairs and telecommunications and also CBR officials, the statement said.

Hakimi said the CBR programme was aimed at preventing parallel departments from interfering in the affairs of government departments.

“Recruitment would be done on the basis of expertise, merit and ability under the programme and the aim of the programme is to appoint experienced and professional youth in government departments,” he said.
