Furthermore, the Ministry is undertaking a comprehensive investigation into allegations of illegal activities involving certain Ministry employees accused of faking insurance documents.

The official assured the public that any employee found guilty of such misconduct will face strict consequences in accordance with the Civil Servants Standing Order.
