He emphasized that the Establishment Department ensured complete transparency, giving merit the highest priority. He further remarked that recruitment through favoritism and corruption weakens the administrative structure, which is why upholding merit has been their top priority.
At the conclusion of the ceremony, the Law Minister distributed appointment letters among the newly appointed stenographers and prayed for their bright future with best wishes.
