The central government has ordered provincial governments to discipline 48 public servants for engaging in illegal campaign activities for the June 2 local elections, officials said Wednesday.
The Ministry of Public Administration and Security said it has asked the local governments to reprimand the public servants according to the severity of their violations. They were asked to dismiss five, take punitive measures to reprimand eight and issue warnings to the rest.
The Civil Servant Law forbids them from engaging in any political activities. But the accused government workers participated in the campaigning of certain candidates for the June 2 local elections.
