So, we have trust in him that his company cannot be like the ones you have always complained about that got issues to do with trust,” Basajja Balaba said, advising Premier recruitment to always take records of people from Bushenyi deployed in the Arab countries and share them with district authorities under district labor office so that they can track them for monitoring and ensure they are investing the money they earn from overseas employment opportunities.

The district labor officer, Bushenyi, Loyce Namara, sensitized participants about their labor rights especially about employment leave, insurance and compensation in the case where an employee may get sick or lose their life while on duty.
She lauded the management of Premier Recruitment Ltd for being open and transparent to the extent of sensitizing the public about the procedures, processes and costs involved when someone is seeking for employment abroad.
“Many companies don’t reveal much of this information because some of them use such loopholes to defraud unsuspecting ignorant candidates and they end up losing lots of their money,” she said.
The workshop whose organizers highly observed Covid-19 guidelines, started at 9:00am and ended at 2:00pm before the team rushed for another evening session in Sheema district to meet Prof. Elijah Mushemeza’s voters, was attended by over 200 people and graced by all district leadership who included Deputy Resident district commissioner, District internal Security Officer, District Police Commander among others.
