DIS denies agents contracts breach

In a response to a lawsuit filed by over 400 employees who are accusing the DIS of failing to fast track their progression since 2007, the intelligence agency has defended its decision.

It based its defence not to fast track progression of the said employees on grounds that there was no contract breach and that progression is not automatic nor an entitlement. “We deny that there was a contract breach as promotion in the public sector is based on certain factors. Promotion is not automatic nor an entitlement,” the DIS insisted.
