Bratislava, July 14 (TASR) - New Defence Minister Lubomir Galko said on Wednesday that pointless staff reshuffles were made shortly before his arrival at the ministry, and even among rank and file employees.
"I don't understand this move because no one has come to the Defence Ministry to conduct purges, let alone of rank-and-file workers," said Galko.
He wonders whether the reshuffles were an attempt to save some staff from dismissal after the change of government. "If so, it makes no sense. I don't understand an attempt to hide certain employees by moving them to other departments," he said, adding that he is having the wisdom of the reshuffles analysed.
Galko noted that he isn't looking to fire people based on their political orientation or the date on which they joined the ministry.
The minister confirmed that he has had past tender procedures put under review, including the one for the supplier of the MOKYS communications system.
