DSS sacks 115 personnel

The Department of State Services (DSS) has dismissed 115 of its personnel as part of ongoing internal reforms aimed at maintaining discipline and integrity within the agency.

This was made known in a statement on the Service’s official X account on Tuesday, stating that the action followed a review process which identified the affected individuals, whose names have now been published on its official website. 

The DSS also warned members of the public against engaging in any form of transaction or communication with those dismissed, noting that some of them continue to impersonate DSS officials.

The Service reiterated its commitment to professionalism and urged citizens to report suspicious activities through its official helpline or email.

The statement reads, “As part of the ongoing reforms in the Department of State Services (DSS), the public is hereby informed that a total of 115 personnel have been dismissed over a period.

“Members of the public are therefore advised to desist from any official dealing with these individuals who have been dismissed by the Service.
