The GSD has expressed concern over private limited company ‘Construction and Maintenance Company Limited’ which is registered at the Chief Minister’s Office at Number 6 Convent Place. The GSD adds that the sole director is not a civil servant, but is in fact a well-known and vocal GSLP activist. They insist that at least one registered shareholder appears to be a public servant.
The director of the company has apparently stated in social media that the company is one of 20 similar companies that are employing Future Job Strategy trainees. This was also highlighted in the The New People.
