In a bid to alleviate hardship among residents, the governor addressed the steps taken by his administration, including a reduction in the number of days civil servants are required to work from the office.
He announced that civil servants from levels 1 to 14 would now work from home twice a week, while those from levels 15 to 17 could work from home once a week.
“We are implementing a phased approach starting next week, where lower-level civil servants will work three days a week and those from levels 15 to 17 will work four days a week,”he stated.
However, essential government services will remain operational, with a reduction in transportation costs by 25% for state public transport systems such as BRT, trains, and ferries starting this weekend.
