Gromyko Wilson Questions Pro Local Approach Of Government And Public Sector

Gromyko Wilson anaspiring politicalcandidate for theupcoming (2023) elections

PHILIPSBURG, Sint Maarten — In a press statement of Tuesday, August 20, 2022, Gromyko Wilson questioned the so called Pro Local approach of Government and organizations within the Public Sector.

It is baffling to see how our Government officials campaign every single election on job security, employment and stimulating the locally owned small businesses, yet job vacancies are predominantly published in print media abroad and on LinkedIn or other international online recruitment platforms, Wilson stated.

What happened to promoting our own? How is it that politicians stop fighting for jobs for our locals when they get in office? What happened to the qualified political slogan? Why is it that we do not advertise on the different local online media platforms and on our radio stations? continued Wilson.

As of June 2022 SZV has hired a local in the position of HR Management Read more
