In an email to all staff, Mr Kabushenga the Vision Group Board of Directors met on June 25, 2020 and decided to render some jobs and positions redundant.
In his email to all staff, Mr Kabushenga says the company has been experiencing significant challenges due to the #Covid-19 pandemic.
“As a result, a number of jobs and roles have been rendered redundant. For that reason, the Board at its meeting on June 25th decided to terminate the services of those whose jobs and roles have been affected in this manner, “reads the email.
It adds that: “The concerned staff will be informed on Monday by their respective Heads of Department. The decision was a difficult one to make but the current market circumstances are even more difficult and complex compounded by the business uncertainty.”

After the first lay-offs, MPs questioned why such a profit-making government entity was laying off staff.
