They remembered that the President’s approval for their instant absorption into the Federal Civil Service was officially interacted in June 2026.
They stated they were yet to get visit letters or be officially used.
“Four months after that instruction, we are yet to be engaged or provided work, while the procedure continues to be postponed by administrative descriptions and unsettled treatments,” the letter mentioned.

They included that the extended unpredictability had actually increased disappointment amongst members, cautioning that the hope motivated by the President’s guarantee was slowly developing into frustration.
“Our Renewed Hope, which your management motivated and which your approval even more reinforced, is now being dabbled by the continued hold-up in executing the extremely choice that offered us factor to eagerly anticipate a much better future,” the association stated.
The fellows worried that they were not requesting for a fresh guarantee however for the application of an approval currently given.
“Your Excellency, we are not requesting for a brand-new pledge, however for the fulfilment of an approval currently approved,” they specified.
