The letter dated September 27, 2024, partly read: “The Senior Management Committee of the State Civil Service had deliberated on the investigative report of the Anti-Corruption Commission in an emergency meeting held on Friday, September 27, 2024, and recommended the immediate interdiction of the three officers.
