The letter clarified that the suspension was to allow the ministry fix all issues with financial clearance before they are hired.

“The suspension is not a cancellation but to allow the Ministry of Health to finalise all issues related to financial clearance. Kindly take steps to inform all your officers accordingly. You will be duly informed as soon as the final clearance is granted.”
