Official Statement from MRANTI

‍

Regarding the recent inquiries raised by Digital News Asia (DNA) Journalist, Mr. Karamjit Singh, on the matter of part-time hiring within MRANTI, we would like to provide a comprehensive response to address the concerns raised.

‍

Firstly, it is acknowledged that six individuals have been affected by the non-renewal of their contracts.

‍

The rationale behind the non-renewal of these contracts varies. Four contracts were not renewed due to the absence of foreseeable future requirements for their respective roles, while another two contracts were not renewed as a result of a change in internal resource requirements.

‍

Regarding the roles and functions impacted, we must clarify that the affected individuals primarily held part-time positions. These roles, distinct from our contract staff, are typically engaged on a project-specific basis, and further details regarding specific levels, grades, or functions cannot be disclosed.

‍

In response to inquiries about our hiring plans, we wish to confirm that MRANTI is actively pursuing internal recruitment efforts. Vacancies are being filled, either to establish new roles that support our organisational mandates or to backfill positions that have become vacant due to personnel changes. This underscores our commitment to adaptability and responsiveness in managing our workforce to meet the evolving needs of our organisation.

‍

We appreciate the opportunity to address these queries and provide clarity on the matter. MRANTI remains committed to transparent communication and endeavors to ensure the well-being and success of our employees.
